Unfortunately, to get the bind.AssemblyXxx values you need to set the appropriate File/@Assembly attributes. If you don't go to the GAC, then you need to set the File/@AssemblyFile and File/@AssemblyApplication to point to the same file. Its weird WindowsSxS behavior that we probably should have abstracted better in the WiX toolset.
