Sorry I did not answer earlier. The COM is already registered on my system, but it should not bother to the build process.
I have been fighting with IS Express this week, and I have not been able to correct this. Everything goes OK with the IS version that comes with VFP 7, but InstallShield Express fails to recognize COM functions. I have changed merge modules from directories, cleaned them, ..., but it still does not work. Beats me.
