Ok, thanks. Nice to know I have not missed
something. The why is because I have written some installers for SQL Server
Integration Services (SSIS) components, and by (MS) design components need to
be in the GAC, so that they can be load and used, albeit during SSIS runtime,
but they also need to be in another defined folder so that the VS toolbox,
right-click Choose Items stuff, can find them. So I need both. A component that
you can run, but not add from the toolbox has limited appeal J. It is rather like the
VSA limitation of only allowing you to add references to stuff in the Window\Framework\Version
folder, but then you need the assembly in the GAC for anything to be found at
run-time. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rob Mensching It is a waste and no
one seems to have an answer that works well. One question, why do you
need to put the file in two places? If it’s in the GAC everyone can
get to it, right? Why double place it? From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Darren Green On this theme, is there a way to get a
file to be placed both in the GAC and in another defined file system folder? I
need some files to be placed in both locations. Currently I achieve this by
including the file twice, which seems a waste. Thanks Darren From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

the WIX version 2.0. 3902. I
have some ..NET 2.0 assemblies placed
under some folder. My MSI refers to that folder while installing. I just wanted
to embed assemblies into the MSI instead of
having then in a separate folder. And how can I
GAC 2.0 assemblies? To install an assembly to
the GAC, specify Assembly=".net" as an attribute in the File element.
MSI still requires you to specify a directory, though the actual file will go
into the GAC. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org ------------------------------------------------------- All the advantages of Linux Managed Hosting--Without the Cost and Risk! Fully trained technicians.
