Hi Sir, I had gone through that thread before.It says how to automate the task of generating components for all files in a folder/sub folder as a whole. But it does not tell about how push a dll file to GAC/DllRegisterServer.
So My question is, For every file we include in the component we have got an attribute called "assembly" which takes 3 values. ".net", "win32" and "no" . (making it to ".net" wix pushes that dll to GAC) In our product We have some dll files which we are 1). registering to GAC using a EXE C.A by calling RegAsm.exe. (InstallShield currently). 2) registering to DllRegisterServer using EXE C.A which calls RegSvr.exe. If i have to achieve this in wix , i have to harvest all the files using heat as normal xcopy components and then 1). i have to add a "assembly=.net" attribute manually for all tons of dlls. 2). harvesting each file separately using "heat fle ......................." . I found all of your posts very helpful and you are very active in the forum. Tons of thanks :) Regards, Sampat On Mon, Nov 17, 2014 at 9:06 PM, Phill Hogland [via Windows Installer XML (WiX) toolset] <ml-node+s687559n7597996...@n2.nabble.com> wrote: > See this thread for example of harvesting a folder: > > http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Automatically-harvest-files-in-VS-2013-td7597592.html#a7597939 > > I don't have any experience with GAC or Com+, but I assume that the above > code could be modified to not set the SuppressRegistry and SuppressCom > flags.
