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 checkbox is available only if the .NET Framework is installed on your
computer.
