Christopher:

The following <File> element installs the file to the GAC.

<File Id="YourFileId" Name="YourFileShortName" LongName="YourFileLongName" src="YourFileSourcePath" Vital="yes" KeyPath="yes" DiskId="1" Assembly=".net" />

As for your error, I suspect that it has something to do with the following help entry for the @Assemby attribute. From the Wix.chm:

"Specifies if this File is a Win32 Assembly or .NET Assembly; the default is neither. If the value is '.net' or 'win32', this file must also be the key path of the Component."

What is the purpose of the Assembly attribute of the File Element?

I'm trying to install a set of .net assemblies, but if I set the Assembly
attribute to ".net" the msi fails with an HRESULT 0x8002802F (and no real
information of course). It works if I leave the Assembly attribute out.

From reading a few messages on the forum it appears that this may have
something to do with installing to the GAC. But then, how does it work and
why do I get this cryptic error?

Thanks
