how to setup and deploy com dll

Can anyone explain (or direct me to the correct info that explains) how to create a setup project for installing and registering a com dll?

My current msi project cannot be added as a reference in vs2005. It is not listed in the .NET list but it is in the COM list. However, when I try to Add the Reference from the COM list, I get a message that it has to be added with the .NET assembly which (as I have noted) is not listed in the .NET tab of the Add Reference dialog box.

I don't know what you're getting at with "my current MSI project cannot be added as a reference". Is this COM Dll a .NET class library that implements COM interfaces? If so, this should help:
