Yeah, you have to search for "global assembly cache" in the WiX.chm to find it. "GAC" only finds the NativeImage element. Probably should tweak the documentation to catch both.

I looked under the current wix help file how to section and could only find "How To: NGen Managed Assemblies During Installation". This appears to cover having wix generated msi's install/uninstall to %systemroot%\assembly\gac_32 & %systemroot%\assembly\gac_64 but does not appear to have an option to all me to direct install to %systemroot%\assembly\gac_msil. Am I overlooking some <netfx:NativeImage attribute setting that will result in bits getting placed in %systemroot%\assembly\gac_msil? -----Original Message----- From: Neil Enns [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 08, 2008 7:07 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to GAC .Net assemblies the correct way? There is a complete example of how to do this in the WiX help file that ships with WiX. Look under the How To section.

Hey guys, I could use a custom action to gacutil the .Net dlls into the GAC. But I searched that WiX and MSI has the correct way of GAC'ing the dlls, instead of using gacutil.exe . After I googled, I still couldn't find a single example on how to do it. Could someone kind enough to enlighten me the correct way to specify it in the WXS file? Thank you very much! And have a nice day!
