You're not trying to do nested installs are you? What are you putting in the
GAC and why are you putting it there?
As for the icons, I've always tried to use a resource only native DLL.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Shortcut creation seems to cause sxs assembly error in
Event Viewer
Coming back to this one just to see if there may be another reason for this
issue. Again it does not prevent out apps from running at the end of the
install, it is just an issue of seeing sxs errors in the Event Viewer.
I checked the app .exe manifest files and yes all the assemblies that are
declared as dependencies are shown and yes they are all installed and required.
So I do not think this is the issue, but maybe it is causes by the
MsiPublishAssemblies and when this is triggered.
Now this may be the main issue, our installs that show these sxs errors are
mainly our Chained .msi installs. The parent .msi install actually does not
trigger the MsiPublishAssemblies until all installs are complete, so all
installer that contain assemblies do not actually get published until all the
children installers are complete and the parent is finishing off. So in this
case can anything be done to prevent these sxs errors?
As is if any of our children .msi projects launch any apps we condition them
NOT to be triggered if being ran in silent mode or from the Chain as again if
the assemblies are not published then the apps will fail to run because the
assemblies are not published yet and therefore we get sxs errors until the full
install is complete. Then apps will then work.
So just verifying that there is not much that we can do here with respect to
shortcut creation from .exe files that have assembly dependencies? It would be
nice if the shortcut creation did not actually have to touch the .exe file,
just simply create the shortcut from a .ico file and path/file name.....
