I have an application which needs to install new bits for
Interop.FOOBARLib.DLL to the GAC. The problem is that the version
number is the same as the old version and the new bits do not get
written the GAC on an upgrade. We execute the RemoveExistingProducts
action after the InstallFinalize action.
We cannot move the RemoveExistingProducts action to earlier in the
install.
The foobar.dll component is not my component so I cannot increment the
type library version (which would cause the version of the interop to
increment).
Is there a way to FORCE the file to be upgraded in the GAC even if the
version is the same? I want behavior similar to "gacutil.exe /f".
The component looks like:
<Component Id="Interop.FOOBARLib.dll"
Guid="{4E0C173E-34DF-4249-A3A6-5530047FA65B}" >
<File Id="Interop. FOOBARLib.dll" Name="Interop.FOOBARLib.dll"
KeyPath="yes" Assembly=".net"/>
</Component>
