1. Does the component for installing a .net assembly in to GAC, should
contain only the File element that places the assembly in to the GAC ?
If I place some other File elements, like the corresponding XML files, Im
getting an Error 1935. HRESULT: 0x80131043. It is my understanding that
Wix/MSI assumes the other components to be part of assembly and tries to put
them in GAC, and so the error. But why would wix/msi do this, thought there
is no assembly manifest specified in the script ?
2. By having only the File element placing the assembly in to GAC in a
component , I do succeed placing the assembly in GAC, but I do not see the
assembly in the windows directory. Wix/Msi deletes the directory and assembly
after placing them in the GAC. How will you place an assembly both in the
directory as well as GAC ?
3.What is the use of AssemblyApplication attribute on File Element ? It is
only as good as not specifying Assembly=".net" attribute.
4. I have an .net assembly and corresponding xml file, that needs to be
dropped inside a windows directory, and the assembly to be placed in GAC. My
understanding was to do all these three inside a Component, as I consider
them as single unit of operation..
<Fragment >
<DirectoryRef Id= "v1.0">
<Component Id="Communication" Guid
="E176CE6C-B4E8-4EB1-8A3C-044F4A834CEC">
<File Id ="MyAssembly_GAC" Assembly=".net" KeyPath ="yes"
Name ="MyAssembly.dll"
Source =".\source\MyAssembly.dll"></File>
<File Id ="MyAssembly.XML"
Name ="MyAssembly.XML"
Source =".\source\MyAssembly.XML"></File>
</Component>
</DirectoryRef>
</Fragment>
Apparently this wouldn't work , give me an Error 1935. HRESULT: 0x80131043 ,
so what is the proffered or standard way of doing this ? I need the assembly
both in a directory and GAC for compile and runtime references.
Thanks for the help in advance.
thanks
Arun
