I've recently been looking at using Manifest Isolation with Wise Package Studio V7. Through 'playing' and reading articles on this site and others I believe I have a basic understanding but there is one aspect I don't fully understand.

Take a component which contains a DLL or OCX file, in the component view in WFWI it will typically display the file, registry and advertising information if appropriate. I decide I want to isolate this file so I create the XML which will include the advertising information. Presumably now I can remove the advertising information from the component as it is no longer required. Now I am left with the registry information and this is where I am confused, what action should I take with this information, presumably some or all of it is still required. If it is still required should it be left in its original component or moved to a new one. Either way it seems there is a possibility that it could be removed by uninstallation of another application because it won't be protected by component counting.

Appreciate any views on this.
