Setting .NET Assembly Options

Windows Installer Editor Reference
Refresh Projects Integrated with Visual Studio .NET
This option appears only if Microsoft Visual Studio is installed. When you open a
project that has been integrated with Visual Studio, this option causes the Visual
Studio solution to be rebuilt so that this installation has the most recent files.
"Integrated" means the project has been added as part of a Visual Studio solution.
(Not available in the Visual Studio integrated editor.)

You can specify whether you create standard Win32 or .NET installations, and customize
how Windows Installer Editor handles the .NET assemblies.
Note
(Visual Studio integrated editor.) To display context-sensitive help, click the Wise Help
link on this dialog box.
To set options:
Select Tools menu > Options and click the .NET Assemblies tab. (In Visual Studio: Tools
menu > Options > Wise Options > Assemblies.) Complete the tab.
If the options on the .NET Assemblies tab are unavailable, install the .NET Framework
and run a manual repair of the Windows Installer Editor .MSI from Add/Remove
Programs. (Not applicable in the Visual Studio integrated editor.)
COM Interop Options
Default Application Type
This determines the default setting for the Application Type field on the Product
Details page for new installations. Changing this field does not affect existing
installations.
Win 32 (non .NET)
Select this if you typically create standard Win32 installations without .NET
assemblies.
.NET Application
Select this if you typically create .NET installations with only .NET elements.
Mixed (.NET and Win32)
Select this if you typically create installations containing both Win32 and .NET
elements. When this option is selected, .NET assemblies you add to an
installation are registered so that they can be called as though they were COM
components. For information on COM interoperability, search for "Interoperating
with Unmanaged Code" in the MSDN Library (msdn.microsoft.com/library/).
Rescan COM interop registry keys on compile
Mark this to scan and update interop registry keys for .NET assemblies each time
you compile. This check box is available only if the .NET Framework is installed on
your computer.
