Thanks Bob It sounds to me then that a type 2 CA is not the solution then.
I guess that gives rise to some more questions: 1) Where should I schedule this to ensure that rollbacks can be handled, keeping in mind that the assemblies I installed are in the GAC before the CA runs? 2) What options do I have to keep these CAs as managed code EXEs 3) Would a typ 18 CA serve me any better? The CAs are modifying an XML file, but there can potentially be a 32-bit and 64-bit version of the file (both need to be modified) and the CA takes care of that since it relies on using both the 32-bit and 64-bit registry entries to locate the file. Having multiple installers is not an option, so that takes using XmlFile elements out of the solution for me.
