WiX doesn't, it just builds MSIs. Windows Installer (aka: MSI) does.

Subject: [WiX-users] Adding 3rd party assemblies to the GAC

Hello,

Quick question regarding adding third party libraries to the GAC. 

Naturally if our app is used we don't want the 3rd party dlls to be uninstalled 
unless they are not being used. So my question is, does wix increment and 
decrement the reference counts when installing and uninstalling? 

Also is there a recognized approach for dealing with the possibility that a 
program is installed that is relying on a manually 'gacced' assembly?
