Update the AssemblyFileVersion is the only way I know.

[WiX-users] Force upgrade of a file in the GAC regardless ofthe version number
I have an application which needs to install new bits for Interop.FOOBARLib.DLL to the GAC. The problem is that the version number is the same as the old version and the new bits do not get written the GAC on an upgrade. We execute the RemoveExistingProducts action after the InstallFinalize action. We cannot move the RemoveExistingProducts action to earlier in the install. The foobar.dll component is not my component so I cannot increment the type library version (which would cause the version of the interop to increment). Is there a way to FORCE the file to be upgraded in the GAC even if the version is the same? I want behavior similar to "gacutil.exe /f". The component looks like: -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
