I thought my project was going to be fine with encryptor. But I installed on a new virtual machine and find all kinds of errors. The most serious is included below. I do not register the activex control for various historical reasons, but use a .manifest file. The manifest file and dll are being installed by the setup as usual, but the encrypted version of my app is not picking it up. I have no idea how to fix this.

CurrentDomainUnhandledException: Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {897B372A-F588-4143-AA5D-3414D1DBC42E} failed due to the following error: 80040154 Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG)).

The other big problem is that the installer has stopped picking up the dependencies on quite a few devexpress dlls. They are no longer being installed. I didn't see this problem on the dev machine since these are already in the gac.

I think it should be possible to use reg-free COM by specifying the active X control in the manifest for the Bootstrap executable. It sounds like perhaps your manifest is for the encrypted exe rather than the bootstrap and so is not being used?

For other dependencies you may need to either add these manually to your installer.

I changed the manifest setting of the bootstrap project from "Embed manifest with default settings" to the assembly manifest for the activex control and that seems to work. I didn't know you could do that.
