Re: [WiX-users] InstallUtil and GACing the same assembly
What I was trying to do therefore was to author one Component to install the dll to an arbitrary location on the file system and run installutil on it there, then a second Component to install the dll to the GAC . Should deferred custom actions be able to use the assemblies I have installed to the file system?

Correct. Assemblies are installed to the GAC after InstallFinalize so deferred custom actions can't use those assemblies. The best solution is to figure out what the assembly is doing to install the perf counters and replace it with stock MSI functionality. -- sig://boBhttp://bobs.org - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Re: [WiX-users] InstallUtil and GACing the same assembly
And that is what I have tried in my example but for some reason while the installutil actions are being performed (see InstallUtilFail.txt) the assemblypath value changes from this location on the file system to a GAClike location (when as you say the GACing of the assembly should come later on) and the installutil operation fails because it is not in the GAC yet From: Bob Arnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 11 July 2006 16:52 To: Simon Burgess Cc: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] InstallUtil and GACing the same assembly Simon Burgess wrote: What I was trying to do therefore was to author one Component to install the dll to an arbitrary location on the file system and run installutil on it there, then a second Component to install the dll to the GAC .

AFAIK, there's no way to do that. MSI doesn't install assemblies destined for the GAC; it hands them off to Fusion, which takes care of them. It's an excellent example of why setup should be declarative and not dependent on running the same things you're installing. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org - Using Tomcat but need to do more?
