Understanding COM and MSI Registration by Himanshu Gupta is a document available to read on EtoBox.
COM (Component Object Model) is a Microsoft technology that allows different programs to use shared functionalities through reusable components like DLLs. It works by registering components in the Windows Registry with unique Class IDs (CLSIDs), enabling applications to access these components without needing to implement the functionality themselves. MSI packaging automates the registration and unregistration of these COM components during installation and uninstallation, ensuring a clean lifecycle.
