Private assemblies are simply installed as files. Don't specify the Assembly attribute at all, nor the AssemblyName elements.
Generally you don't actually specify the <AssemblyName> elements; light can fix those up for itself. If you want the FileVersion to be specified, you can use the -fv switch to light. Only if light gets it wrong do you need to add AssemblyName elements. You get the error from setting Assembly="win32" because Windows Installer then expects the key file to be a native assembly manifest. While they have the same name, .NET and Win32 assemblies are actually quite different. -- Mike Dimmick -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Geoff Finger Sent: 20 October 2006 19:57 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Private Assemblies with Wix Yes, we're using .Net so I was told that all the files already have an internal manifest so I shouldn't need to worry about an external manifest file. We intend to make the public dll's shared at some point in the future, so I think the intent is to be consistent by treating all the dll's and exe's as assemblies, either shared or private. So would the above code be correct if it were a shared dll? (If I added a publicKeyToken value at least) What do i need to change in order to have cr.dll treated as a private assembly? I tried just changing ".net" to "win32", however for some reason that caused light.exe to start generating errors about other unrelated files in other features, saying "file.ext : error LGHT0124 : Not a valid manifest file; detail: Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1." And i'd still like to know if thee are actually any good tutorials on the subject since even if I end up having to give up on the private assemblies I'll need to figure out how to handle the shared assemblies later. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
