Specifies the file that is the key of the installer component containing this COM Object. When a COM object is assigned to a component, the COM object is only installed on the target machine if that installer component is also installed. The installer component also activates the COM object assigned to it.
To assign the COM object to a new component or to a "default" component, you can change the value displayed. Assigning the COM object to a default component means the COM object is always installed as part of any installation of your product.
