You cannot create COM components with VB.NET. You can, however, add a COM
wrapper. If you need full native functionality, you would be best to pick up
a third party product that creates fully native assemblies.
As far as install goes, I would look at the older version 6 install projects
or a third party install tool like Wise Installer.

Hi all
How can I make an installer for a COM component made with vb.net?
This component will be used in vb6/windows XP
Normally I would copy the dll/tbl to the directory of vb6 program, copy
the dll to Global Assembly Cache (not sure if the dll has to be in both
places? Propably not) and then register unregister the old version of the
dll and register new with regasm.exe.
Can I create a Windows Installer that would do all this with Visual Studio
2005?
regards
Vili
