Software Deployment

In all likelihood, you are are Wise Package Studio user and you have it set to use self-registration. Self-registration is the Work Of Satan, as is registering DLLs and OCXs using RegSvr32. Both methods rely on the presence of ALL a file's dependencies and will thus fail in the absence of those dependencies.

ICE33 is a warning that there are entries in the Registry table which *probably* ought to be in the advertising tables. To answer your question, then, it'll be self-registration.

What is mean by this article, it is saying :
Installation package authors are strongly advised against using the TypeLib table. Instead, they should register type libraries by using the Registry table.......it means do not use typelib table and use registry table means go for self registration.......

and then it is saying

Reasons for avoiding self registration include:

• If an installation using the TypeLib table fails and must be rolled back, the rollback may not restore the computer to the same state that existed prior to the rollback. Type libraries registered prior to rollback may not be registered after rollback.

is not it confusing?

Here is a really good article and a lab on RobMenshing.com. I would read it in full and do the lab he demonstrates.
