If all you are trying to do is register your DLL in the GAC, add Assembly=".net" to your <File> element and it'll automatically get installed to the GAC.

I need to create a WIX installer for my application, and when I run that msi the dll file should get registered in GAC. I modified my WXS file to use custom action behaviour of WIX. Code is as below: <Binary Id="InstallDlfetcher" SourceFile="D:\DLFetcher_July10\DLFetcher.dll"/> <CustomAction Id="LaunchDlfetcher" BinaryKey="InstallDlfetcher" DllEntry="InstallDlfetcher" Execute="deferred"/> <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action="LaunchDlfetcher" Before="InstallFinalize"/> <InstallExecuteSequence> But when I run installer, I couldn't find in gac folder the registry entry creating a DlFetcher folder. Please help me to get out of here. Is there any way to call a dll file from wix and while I try to run my installer that should get registered in GAC.....? Thanks everyone in advance...
