Although you're not getting the behaviour consistently, the symptoms sounds like this problem http://support.microsoft.com/kb/905238 -----Original Message----- From: Maillet, Ed [mailto:email...@unum.com] Sent: 28 February 2011 15:25 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] GAC: Sometimes yes; sometimes no Hey all, I've got an MSI that is a MajorUpgrade to an existing product. The existing product has assemblies in the GAC and the new MSI needs to replace them. Using the standard Wix file element it all works great except if some app (e.g. w3wp.exe) is using the assembly in the GAC needing to be replaced. I found this article and I'm seeing the 'temp' folder and its contents. I see the 'tmp' left behind but its empty and the new assembly is nowhere to be found. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/junfeng/archive/2006/11/17/gac-temp-and-tmp.aspx What's worse is the MSI indicates success yet the GAC file is totally missing in action. Reboots of the machine didn't resolve the problem. Any ideas? ----- Ed ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Free Software Download: Index, Search & Analyze Logs and other IT data in Real-Time with Splunk.
