There is "Setup project" in VS. During installation I launch another process: System.Diagnostics.Process process = new System.Diagnostics.Process(); //fill StartInfo and run call Start() process.Start(); If I run installer under Windows 7 and install for "Everyone", process start under the SYSTEM.

And everything works fine in the sense that the .NET assembly is properly registered for COM, and compiled COM code can call it without any trouble. The only odd thing is that developing against the COM-exposed .NET assembly when using VB 6.0 or VBA requires that the programmer 'browse' to the exact file location of the associated .tlb file, after which everything works just fine.
