No I’m saying that installutil should be using the location on the file system that I define in my <Directory> elements and that’s what happens if all my msi is doing is trying to installutil my dll (see InstallUtilSuccess.txt).However, as soon as I introduce another <Component> element to install the same dll to the GAC, then the installutil operation seems to get confused about the location it should be running installutil (see InstallUtilFail.txt)

And that is what I have tried in my example but for some reason while the installutil actions are being performed (see InstallUtilFail.txt) the ‘assemblypath’ value changes from this location on the file system to a GAC–like location (when as you say the GACing of the assembly should come later on) and the installutil operation fails because it is not in the GAC yet

Are you saying InstallUtil requires that assembly to be in the GAC? AFAIK, there's no way to do that. MSI doesn't install assemblies destined for the GAC; it hands them off to Fusion, which takes care of them.

It's an excellent example of why setup should be declarative and not dependent on running the same things you're installing.
