Category: compiler Group: Denied Status: Closed Priority: 5 Submitted By: sgoodij (sgoodij) Assigned to: Derek (derekc) Summary: Install assembly to multiple locations Initial Comment: I'm trying to install an assembly to the GAC and also to a regular folder. Since this is not possible with DuplicateFile, a solution is to copy the installed file from the GAC to the local folder using a custom action (scheduled after MsiPublishAssemblies). I'm sure I'm not the only one trying to do this (see http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2005/06/24/4325 21.aspx). This process could easily be generated from the CopyFile element (call the standard custom action instead of adding a row to DuplicateFile). Another option would be to install the file locally then include gacutil.exe in the package and use it to install to the GAC... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: sgoodij (sgoodij) Date: 2006-04-18 09:41 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1312865 This is the easiest solution, but the problem is that the assemblies are included twice in the package, making the final package bigger... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Derek (derekc) Date: 2006-04-17 05:40 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=518766 The best way to handle this scenario is to have two components (one each for the two locations where the file will be installed). This allows you to use all the normal MSI reinstall/patching/maintenance behavior without having to worry about a custom action or copying files correctly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=642717&aid=1238472&group_id=105970 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
