Assemblies don't get installed to the GAC until the commit phase, 
InstallFinalize. This is (unfortunately) just the way that MSI and Fusion 
behave.

Hi,

When does the file get installed to the GAC if Assembly=".net" and Assembly 
application is not specified.

The problem I'm facing is
I've a custom action which runs InstallUtil on an assembly say "A" which 
references the assembly to be installed in GAC. It worked fine if the custom 
action is immediate. But for vista compatibility I need to have this as a 
deferred custom action(I'm assuming InstallUtil requires admin privileges) and 
if I make it deferred installutil fails 'coz it can't find the referenced 
Interfaces assembly which was suppose to be in GAC.

Could anyone please help me out?

Thanks
Sandeep
