We develop multiple applications using the same framwork, hence we put some DLL files in the GAC.
Now I’m trying to patch an assembly in the GAC to a new version. I’m giving it a new strong name by increasing the build number and are then updating my application by reinstalling the MSI (minor upgrade) with the new assembly in it. So fooCore.dll is increased from version 1.0.0.0 => 1.0.1.0 After the upgrade both the old and the new version of the fooCore.dll assembly are placed in the GAC. When does the old assembly gets removed from the GAC? Does it ever? Since, on this particular test-computer, I have but one of our products installed, hence no other product is using/referencing version 1.0.0.0 of the fooCore.dll. Shouldn’t that one then be removed automaticly during the upgrade? Of course, if there were other products using fooCore.dll I understand why the first version would still be there, but now the 1.0.1.0 version is the only one in use. regards Daniel -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Question-on-updating-GAC-assemblies-tp4146652p4146652.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Return on Information: Google Enterprise Search pays you back Get the facts. http://p.sf.net/sfu/google-dev2dev _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
