It started out as a COM dll, all I changed was embedding the manifest and
adding the assembly info, that doesn't in itself make it a .NET assembly
does it?
I didn't realize that I had to use regasm along with gacutil, but when I
tried using it I got the following error:
RegAsm : error RA0000 : Could not load file or assembly 'SO80,
Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a239c3af9cfd6278' or one
of its dependencies.
This application has failed to start because the application configuration
is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
(Exception from HRESULT: 0x800736B1)
I checked depends and it doesn't show any missing dependencies so I'm not
sure what's wrong. And although heat shows all the Intermediate Ids tallow
just gives:
<Component Id="component0" DiskId="1" Guid="PUT-GUID-HERE">
<File Id="file0" Name="LFSO80.dll"
src="C:\Projects\install\tallow\Assembly\SO80.dll" />
Does that mean the assembly I've created is just broken or is there
something else I'm not understanding?
Thanks again!
