My product is shipped with the set of satellite assemblies for different
languages. Particularly, we provide German and Dutch satellite assemblies.
The requirement for installer is install the satellite assemblies in GAC.
The problem is the file names for specific satellite assemblies are the
same, i.e. we have
Assembly1.resources.dll file with the full name of assembly,
"Name=Assembly1, Culture=nl, version=1.0.0.0"
and
Assembly1.resources.dll file with the full name of assembly,
"Name=Assembly1, Culture=de, version=1.0.0.0"
so, the file names are the same, but the assemblies are different and both
can be installed in GAC .
Well, I tried to accomplish this using Wix(the part of wix file):

          <Directory Id="DummyGACFolder">
            <Component Id="DutchAsmResources_GAC"
Guid="82AFC0C3-2515-48b2-B297-2881CBF78F94">
              <File Id="Asm.nl.dll_GAC"
Source="$(var.AppFolder)\Assemblies\nl\Assembly1.Resources.dll"
                  Assembly=".net" KeyPath="yes"
ProcessorArchitecture="msil"/>
            </Component>
         </Directory>

          <Directory Id="DummyGACFolder2">
            <Component Id="GermanAsmResources_GAC"
Guid="82AFC0C3-2515-48b2-B297-2881CBF78F94">
              <File Id="Asm.de.dll_GAC"
Source="$(var.AppFolder)\Assemblies\de\Assembly1.Resources.dll"
                  Assembly=".net" KeyPath="yes"
ProcessorArchitecture="msil"/>
            </Component>
         </Directory>
    <Feature Id="ProductFeature" Title="MyWixInstaller" Level="1">
            <ComponentRef Id="DutchAsmResources_GAC" />
            <ComponentRef Id="GermanAsmResources_GAC" />
</Feature>

Wix linker provides the following error :

error LGHT0204 : ICE30: The target file
'5e_1hpok.dll|Assembly1.Resources.dll
' is installed in '[ProgramFilesFolder]\MyApp\1.0.0.0\' by two different
components on an LFN system: 'GermanAsmResources_GAC
' and 'DutchAsmResources_GAC'. This breaks component reference counting.

However, the funny thing is msi is created and works fine - all the
satellite assemblies are installed in the GAC:)
Question is - how can I get rid of displaying  this error?
