I have my installer registering my COMPLus component correctly. I have one last requirement to: Enforce component level access checks Under Roles have the “User” Role ticked.
I tried adding a complus:ComPlusCompoent as a child of my ComPlusAssembly but when I do this the installer fails with an error. (See below) I am not sure what I should put as the CLSID, perhaps this is what is causing the issue? Can anyone help me out? Explain what I should be putting for the CLSID?
Error and WiX snippet below Note: If I remove the complus:ComPlusComponent element then the installer works fine: My User ‘ComponentUser” is defined higher up. The role and user are assigned in the component but not ticked.

Yes it was the CLSID. In the previous installers for this compoenet a vb script was used and the projects did not need a static CLSID and so it was specified in the projects.
I needed to add a Guid attribute to the concrete class and then use this guid in the WiX ComPlusComponent clsid.
Hope this helps someone.
