Thanks. Wix.chm | search "global assembly cache" -> returned one hit for "File
Element" documentation which did detail use of the Assembly attribute for
install/remove of managed dlls in %systemroot%\assembly\gac_msil. So the
addition of just Assembly and KeyPath to File element as shown here did the
trick for me.
<Component Id="gacitem1" Guid="PUT-GUID-HERE" Win64="$(var.Win64)">
<File Id="SomeGacDestinedItem.dll"
Name="Company.Deliverable.SomeGacDestinedItem.dll"
Source="$(var.SomeGacDestinedItem.TargetPath)" Assembly=".net" KeyPath="yes" />
</Component>

Yeah, you have to search for "global assembly cache" in the WiX.chm to find it.
"GAC" only finds the NativeImage element. Probably should tweak the
documentation to catch both.

I looked under the current wix help file how to section and could only find
"How To: NGen Managed Assemblies During Installation".
This appears to cover having wix generated msi's install/uninstall to
%systemroot%\assembly\gac_32 & %systemroot%\assembly\gac_64 but does not appear
to have an option to all me to direct install to %systemroot%\assembly\gac_msil.
Am I overlooking some <netfx:NativeImage attribute setting that will result in
bits getting placed in %systemroot%\assembly\gac_msil?

There is a complete example of how to do this in the WiX help file that ships
with WiX. Look under the How To section.

Hey guys,
I could use a custom action to gacutil the .Net dlls into the GAC. But I
searched that WiX and MSI has the correct way of GAC'ing the dlls, instead of
using gacutil.exe . After I googled, I still couldn't find a single example on
how to do it. Could someone kind enough to enlighten me the correct way to
specify it in the WXS file?
Thank you very much!
And have a nice day!
Best regards,
Shao Voon
