Hi Sujanakar, The DLL will be replaced in the GAC if the file assembly version is newer. Notice that the WIX default is to include only the assembly version. Use the linker option -fv - If you are using Visual Studio, open the project properties, go to Tools, and add -fv for the linker.

The problem is the installer is not installing the assembly to GAC, if it already exist. I want to uninstall the existing assembly and install the one shipped with my application to GAC. Here is the codesnippet what I have written to install the assembly to task: <Directory Id="GAC" Name="gac" > <Component Id="C_Sharepoint.OMP" Guid="27C46406-A5B8-49a7-9F5B-D5D343A8C83E"> <File Id="F_Sharepoint.OMP" ProcessorArchitecture="msil" DiskId="1" Assembly=".net" KeyPath="yes" LongName="Microsoft.SharePoint.OMP.dll" src="..\..\External Assemblies\Microsoft.SharePoint.OMP.dll" /> </Component> </Directory> Thanks, Sujanakar _________________________________________________________________ Searching for weekend getaways?
