I've a third-party lib (DLLs and a OCX) and my own app (EXE and DLLs).
Problem: Version 1.0 of my app uses lib version 1.0 and my app version 2.1 uses lib version 1.4. Both lib versions are not binary-safe. If a user has installed both app versions, only one could work, because only the last lib/ocx is registered.
Now I heard of the reg-free-com process using manifest files: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/dotnet/articles/ms973913(v=msdn.10)?redirectedfrom=MSDN
What I've done so far to have both app versions work with different libs/ocx files.
I've created a manifest file for my app: MyApp.exe.manifest
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0" xmlns:asmv3="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">

Note: The manifest main content of GrinderLib.sxs was generated by using mt.exe of the Windows SDK.
I've removed the OCX registration Regsvr32 /u Grinder.ocx from the registry, to try, if the manifests are working.
Currently this attempt isn't working. What am I missing?

I've googled the problem for hours but without finding any solution.
I'm using Wix 3.14 and every time I build on a build server I get this error. When I build locally on my computer, then it works every time, but never on the build server.
I build an msi-file and then bundle with another installation package to the setup executable.
2019-01-31T10:25:46.2328162Z Moving file 'D:\agent\_work\_temp\1jjhaplm\1jjhaplm\setup-bundle.exe' to 'D:\agent\_work\18\a\dist\setup-bundle.exe'.
2019-01-31T10:25:51.2172314Z light.exe : error LGHT0001 : The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
This is how I build the package:
heat dir ./source -var var.SourceDir -cg MainComponentGroup -platform=x64 -dr INSTALLLOCATION -sreg -gg -o files.wxs

How to fix this or find out what the problem is?
When publishing my asp core project using visual studio a .config file is created alongside my executable.
The .config includes a couple of bindingRedirect like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Newtonsoft.Json" publicKeyToken="30ad4fe6b2a6aeed" culture="neutral" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="6.0.0.0" newVersion="8.0.0.0" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="7.0.0.0" newVersion="8.0.0.0" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="6.0.0.0" newVersion="9.0.0.0" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="8.0.0.0" newVersion="9.0.0.0" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="7.0.0.0" newVersion="9.0.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Serilog" publicKeyToken="24c2f752a8e58a10" culture="neutral" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.5.0.0" newVersion="2.0.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="System.Collections.Immutable" publicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a" culture="neutral" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.1.37.0" newVersion="1.2.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="System.Reflection.Metadata" publicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a" culture="neutral" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.2.0.0" newVersion="1.3.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>
</configuration>
Here I want to change the bindingRedirect for Newtonsoft.Json to:
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Newtonsoft.Json" publicKeyToken="30ad4fe6b2a6aeed" culture="neutral" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-9.0.0.0" newVersion="9.0.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
According to this blog post: http://blog.rytmis.net/2016/03/29/asp-net-core-and-assembly-binding-redirects/ I should be able to create an App.config and specify the binding there. However, I cannot get it to work. When I add one it still produces the same .config.
Any ideas?
NOTE: I could create a .config file in my project with the same name as my executable and with the correct bindingRedirect and then edit the publishOptions in my project.json file to include it. Then I would manually have to add all the other future bindingredirect.
You need to create a web.config transformation file.
This answer will come in handy in order to that as it is not easy to add it yourself - https://stackoverflow.com/a/16826106/1147920
You could also do it manually by creating a copy of the web.config file and renaming it to either web.release.config or web.{PublishProfile}.config (if you're using one).
To write the transform rule to edit the bindingRedirect refer to the official docs - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/web-forms/overview/deployment/visual-studio-web-deployment/web-config-transformations
I made a vb6 reg free com one click deployment project
I added manifest file after publish and change content to use my vb name Green.exe instead of vb.net project name. also changed properties to content and copy if newer. When I install it on client, vb6 program cant start cause of not registered ocx. it means reg free com is not right.
we created lots of ocx which main vb6 program will using. Here is manifest file I created:

Edited: I fixed it. there was a component which it cant be register and i didnt know. i placed it in setup package and now its working.
using this link steps:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/aa697429(v=vs.80).aspx
Thanks guys. it is not a hack. it is from microsoft link:
here . one of my ocx was from prev developer. i didnt know it makes a problem and shouldnt be in manifest. now it works as the link i placed said!
In my app I want set set my default logo as wide logo.When user pin to start my app wide logo will be shown how to do that?

</Applications>

</Package>
Just add DefaultSize property：
<m2:DefaultTile Wide310x150Logo="Assets\WideLogo.png" DefaultSize="wide310x150Logo">
...
</m2:DefaultTile>
this will make the Wide Tile as Default tile. if you want the 150*150 logo as default,just change DefaultSize as DefaultSize="square150x150Logo"

I copied exactly the source code from this topic http://blog.bartdemeyer.be/2013/10/create-an-installer-for-website-with-wix-part-1/ to my project but the source code from here runs property but mine doesn't work.
Could you please help me to solve this problem? Thanks a lot.
I solved this problem by removing Build parameter from command line.
It should be:
msbuild setup.build /t:Build;PublishWebSite;Harvest;WIX;DeleteTmpFiles
The reason is you can’t build your solution because MyProject.Setup can’t be built.
