This is actually supposed to work. Though neither Fusion or COM+ where designed with deployment in mind, so plenty of unexpected things seems to happen here.
This probably has something to do with Fusion, but I am at a loss to tell what. Are you saying that you have had it working with a previous WiX build BTW? -----Original Message----- From: Don Benson [mailto:dben...@trulinx.com] Sent: Friday, February 20, 2009 11:06 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Trouble registering .NET assembly from GAC into COM+ That is what I did, and it was easy to do. So what is the purpose of the DLLPathFromGAC attribute on the ComPlusAssembly element? It doesn't seem like it has any use as of build 3.0.5006 unless you are using to register a DLL that already was previously installed, and I'm not sure what installation scenario would do that.
