Until now I deployed my project like this:
- Copy & paste files (one exe any many dll-s)
- Run a script (bat file), which:
- Uninstalls my dll-s from COM
(C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.050727\regsvcs /u MyDll.dll).
- Uninstalls my dll-s from GAC (gacutil /u "MyDll.dll, Version=...
PublicKeyToken=...).
- Installs dll-s to GAC (gacutil /i MyDll.dll).
- Installs dll-s to COM
(C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.050727\regsvcs /i MyDll.dll).
Now I am working on Install project with WIX (I never worked with WIX
before) and have problems installing my dll-s into COM environment. How I do
it:
- (I use Windows XP SP3 in VMware environment, Visual Studio 2005 SP1
(solution is in .NET Framework 2.0), WIX 3.5.2519.0, ProjectAggregator (both
from http://wix.codeplex.com/releases/view/60102), I also have all major
.NET Frameworks installed - 2.0, 3.5, 4.0).
- First I create a wxs file from my dll, like this: heat.exe file
MyDll.dll -gg -out MyDll.wxs.
- Then I add wxs file to my WIX project (I have to manually change Source
of the File element, but OK).
- Then I add the component from wxs file to Features element in main
Product.wxs file.
- Right Click on WIX Project in Visual Studio 2005, Build, then run
installer.
The installer runs without errors, everything works OK (my exe and dll-s are
copied, shortcuts are created (Desktop, StartMenu, AddRemove,...), the log
file looks OK, but the COM+ application doesn't install (it isn't visible in
Component Services nor in C:\Windows\Assembly).
It also isn't visible in C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL and is
not listed if I run C:\Program Files\Microsoft
SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\bin\gacutil.exe /l
And this is a piece of code in my generated MyDll.wxs file:
<RegistryValue Root="HKCR"
Key="CLSID\{13D18561-2F33-38AD-A4FA-5A2045CE48D2}\InprocServer32"
Name="RuntimeVersion" Value="v4.0.30319" Type="string" Action="write" />
Is it possible that heat.exe generates code, which registers .NET 4.0
assemblies instead of .NET 2.0?
