When you install to the GAC, it doesn't really matter which directory it is under since the GAC is a fixed location. I usually put them under TARGETDIR because the keypath needs to remain the same and that directory never changes through different versions of your code.
The component that is copied to the install directory does need to be under that directory or directory ref. -----Original Message----- From: Ravi Raj [mailto:raviraj.callin...@gmail.com] Sent: 19 January 2012 13:38 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.
