Assemblies aren't available in the GAC until InstallFinalize at the end of the install, that's probably the issue. There doesn't seem to be a reasonable solution to this, and I don't think it's seen as a bug because it's documented in the MsiAssembly table docs.

From time to time, custom action fails with FileNotFound exception saying that gaced.dll was not found. The same action uses other dlls which are not GAC-ed and extracted to the same INSTALLDIR. None of my code is using explicit assembly loading. All asemblies are deployed using FILE elements, and only my custom action dll is deployed using BINARY element. Has anybody ever encountered this problem and what is the solution to it? Is is possible that it is a race condition between the end of GACing process and loading my custom action assembly? Is there a way to guarantee that my custom action is called after all GAC-ing has bee completed?
