Hi Simon, 1. In addition to the GAC, put another copy of the file in a dedicated folder and register that folder's location here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\AssemblyFolders (Take a look at the existing contents of this registry key for an example.) This will make the assembly appear on the .NET tab of the Add Reference dialog. You may then place the XML documentation file next to the DLL and IntelliSense should pick it up. 2. Visual Studio (or MSBuild) _will_ resolve the reference using the GAC, but only if it can't find it elsewhere (the GAC is the last place in the probing order).

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] XML documentation file to GAC AFAIK, you shouldn't have any need to do this (for IntelliSense purposes), as Visual Studio/MSbuild won't resolve the file from GAC when building anyway. /Simon On Fri, Aug 21, 2009 at 10:31 AM, Rieche, Simon < simon.rie...@iriscorporate.com> wrote: > Hello, > > is there a way to deploy with WiX the XML documentation file -generated by > Visual Studio- together with the dll to the GAC? > > For example the file Test.xml for the Test.dll: > > <Component Id="C_Test.dll" Guid="11111111-2222-3333-4444-555555555555"> > <File Id="F_Test.dll" Name="Test.dll" KeyPath="yes" Vital="yes" > Assembly=".net" Source="Input\GAC\Test.dll "/> > </Component> > > Regards, > Simon > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day > trial.
