Did you set the Assembly attribute in the File element to ".net"?
<File Assembly=".net" KeyPath="yes" Id="MyAssembly.dl" Name="MyAssembly.dll" ProcessorArchitecture="msil"/> Also, as I recall, you need to create a separate directory for the GAC'd assembly. So you would have two <File> elements for the assembly with different parent directories. One to actually install it to disk, the other one to install it into the GAC. Make sure that the assembly is signed. You can't install unsigned assemblies into the GAC. Take a look at Aaron's blog as well: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2007/06/21/3450539.aspx Jacques On Tue, May 10, 2011 at 7:46 AM, Kurt Jensen <kurt.jen...@us.ophiropt.com>wrote: > we publish one assembly to the GAC. we find the MsiPublishAssemblies > action > in the log file. there is no error. > > but the assembly does not appear in the GAC. > > > > > > Action 7:17:10: MsiPublishAssemblies.
