Mike,
One last question. Does the WIX GACing functionality require that
gacutil.exe be installed on the target machine? And does WIX assume it
is installed in any particular place?

You should be adding files to the GAC using the Assembly=".net"
attribute on File, and consider using the WebVirtualDir element to add a
virtual directory.
Note that if you specify Assembly=".net", the file will only be
installed to the GAC. If you also need a copy installed elsewhere, you
will have to list the file again in a different Component and using a
different Id. Recent versions of WiX will ensure that the file is only
listed in the CAB once (according to Rob).
The more declarative you can go, the better. Using the built-in features
of Windows Installer and WiX means that someone else has tested install,
uninstall, rollback, repair scenarios.

Subject: [WiX-users] Calling a .bat file from WIX
I am new to WIX and converting an existing process to WIX. I have a
.bat file which call .cmd files to gac dlls and create a virtual
directory? Is there a way to execute a .bat file in WIX or should I be
using custom actions to create the virtual directory and call
gacutil.exe to gac the dlls?
