Assuming there are no sharing issues keeping it installed, the typical reason for this is that the actual assembly name details do not match the description that ends up in the MsiAssemblyName table in the MSI file. This means that the identity must be fully specified with name, publickeytoken, processor architecture, version, culture. I thought something in WiX added all this to the MsiAssemblyName table.

Anyone have any pointers to how I go about removing the assembly from the GAC on uninstall? Is there an option similar to the RegistryKey 'createAndRemoveOnUninstall' action? I am using the following WiX entry to add the assembly to the GAC: <Component Id="LicencingAssembly" Guid="9ACD8C7F-FF79-47A4-8195-4825D96381D1" DiskId="1"> <File Id="Foo.dll" KeyPath="yes" Assembly=".net" ProcessorArchitecture="msil" Name="Foo.dll" Source="..\..\Binaries\Foo.dll" /> </Component> Rgds, Nick. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Uninstall-Assembly-from-GAC-when-Wix-MSI-Uninstalled-tp2884391p2884391.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!
