yes, we set the Assembly=".net" otherwise we would not get the log entry
listing our assembly. the assembly is properly listed in the MsiAssembly
table with attribute=0
we are converting a vs2008/wix3.0 project to vs2010/wix3.5. in the wix3.0
project we only install it to the GAC. in the new wix3.5 we install it
both local and GAC. the source code for installing to the GAC is
identical in both projects.
<DirectoryRef Id="CONSOLESERVICEDIRECTORY">
<Component Id="Spiricon.Interfaces.ConsoleService" Guid="">
<File Source="$(var.Spiricon.Interfaces.ConsoleService.TargetPath)"
Assembly=".net" KeyPath="yes" />
</Component>
</DirectoryRef>
note that CONSOLESERVICEDIRECTORY is never actually created
> Make sure that the assembly is signed.
we are using strong naming but not code signing. same as in the wix3.0
project.
surely we would see an entry in the log if there was a problem?

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:
