GAC and COM+ are two completely different things. In order for the COM+ framework to be able to load the assembly it needs to either be in a directory provided to COM+ (see the ApplicationDirectory property of the COM+ Applications collection) or in GAC. IMHO, you are a lot better off if you are able to avoid putting the assembly in GAC. In the example you probided earlier you specified 'Assembly=".net"' for the <File> element. That will make it go into GAC.
Regarding the error you received when the installer tried to add your assembly to GAC..do your assembly have a strong name? Also, the reason you don't need a typelib when registering an assembly directly with regsvcs is that it creates the typelib for you and places it next to the dll. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of DEVAL SHAH Sent: Monday, March 26, 2007 8:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Using Wix to register COM+ -> similar to regsvcs Hello Fredrik, I have .Net serviced component which i am trying to put in Component Services and not in GAC[C:\Windows\Assembly]. According to me they are separate places. I use regsvcs to register my component and this put in Component Services -> COM+ Application. When I use regsvcs i do not have a typelib. Anyways i ran Tlbexp.exe complus.dll /out:mydll.tlb and got a tlb file. I changed my xml to use: <ComPlusApplication ...
