Hi all,

So far I know that setting the Assembly=".net" attribute installs my
assembly into the Global Assembly Cache.  But why should I specify
AssemblyApplication in addition to Assembly=".net"? My understanding is that
if I specify both attributes I end up with an installer that contains an
MsiAssembly / MsiAssemblyName table and installs the assemblies into my
installation directory structure, not into the GAC. Therefore the
information in these two tables is not really required.
Is there any special use case where it is recommended to do this? So far I
treat all assemblies that are not installed into the GAC like any other
file. Does it ever make sense to treat .NET assemblies different if they are
not installed into the GAC?

Thanks!
