Adding some more context, hopefully someone has encountered this error and has 
some insight.
I am only getting this error "Error 1324. The folder path '?' contains an 
invalid character." when I am adding a file (Assembly) to the GAC on the 
machine.
The following is the WiX code:
 
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
    <Directory Id="GAC" Name="GAC">
        <Component Id="GAC_Files"
                   Guid="273ESF01-42D2-40E8-9729-EED39RTF8D14"
                   DiskId="1">
            <File Id="_98EPRLIACFDF4A80A3C2E9B9861C323E"
                  Name="MyProduct.MyAssembly.dll"
                  Source="$(var.BINDIR)\MyProduct.MyAssembly.dll"
                  Assembly=".net" KeyPath="yes" />
        </Component>
    </Directory>
.

.
</Directory>

Thx,
Sunil.
