You're right - when installing an assembly in the GAC there's an
assumption that if the file is in the same component then it's part of
the assembly manifest. Policy assemblies work like that way - the
assembly is in the same component as the policy config file, and the
config file is named in the assembly manifest resources, and they both
end up in the GAC.
In any event, I don't know that it's useful to put the pdb file in the
GAC with the assembly. Are the search rules for pdb files the same as
for assemblies being loaded? I doubt it, so try it in an appropriate
application folder, and hopefully you have one.

Subject: [WiX-users] Adding debug assembly to the GAC
I've split up my debug and release versions of my installers to make
maintenance and building easier. I just build and link different wxs
files depending on which version I want to build. The components have
the same names in the different versions of the files, but the debug
ones have the pdb file as part of the component. That way the feature
gets put together properly based on the linked file.
The problem I'm having is that when I try to add an assembly to the GAC
in the debug version I'm getting the following error:
Error 1935. An error occurred during the installation of assembly
'bridgeSpeak.EventSinks,version="1.5.908.0",culture="neutral",publicKeyT
oken="XXX"'. Please refer to Help and Support for more information.
HRESULT: 0x80131043. assembly interface: IAssemblyCacheItem, function:
Commit, component: {XXX}
I've managed to find a few things that say this is due to a hash value
not checking out when it's trying to add the assembly. I'm guessing
because the component references both files and only the dll is being
added to the GAC.
Is there any way around this? Or does anyone have a suggestion as to a
better technique to manage debug and release versions of the
application?
