I might have missed but does this happen during a clean install, upgrade or both? -----Original Message----- From: Kurt Jensen [mailto:kurt.jen...@us.ophiropt.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 10, 2011 1:05 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Publishing to GAC I remember reading about that. double checked, the entry in MsiAssemblyName has a version we are at a loss as to how to track down the problem. there are no errors. any ideas? -----Original Message----- From: Jacques Eloff [mailto:repst...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 10, 2011 12:33 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Publishing to GAC Ahh, I found that when moving from WiX 2.0 to 3.0/3.5, the assembly file version wasn't written to the MsiAssemblyName table and it caused problems for us during upgrades. The solution in that case was just to add the -fv switch to Light, but that only solves upgrade issues.
