Running batch files after the installation
I'm pretty sure that gacutil isn't part of the standard redistributable
framework, so you would need to put it in your install somewhere. Plus that
brings up the issue of whether you're actually allowed to redistribute gacutil.

VB and custom actions
NET programmers using gacutil, regasm, installutil, installer classes, and
knowing nothing about the windows installer. At one time all you had to say was
No, we don't use regsvr32 we populate class/progid tables. Now you have to say
No, we don't need installer classes to install a service, we don't need regasm

.NET Assembly Deployment with MSIs
NET Assembly, without you running the gacutil tool, which they now deem obsolete
. But if anyone really managed to do this, please let me know. All I managed to
make my MSI do is add a reference count to my DLL, but I couldn't convince it
that I really want it to be deployed in the GAC. Actually, I couldn't get it ...

Nested install
NET files (ie gacutil) I'm thinking that the .NET msi should include the non .
NET msi as a nested install. Does this sound reasonable? Additionally, our non .
NET install has a bunch of options (by defining properties) you can specify on
the command line. How can I best implement this in this new install? ...

Unable to run a script on an assembly installed in the GAC ...
Most folks seem to have given up on the MsiAssembly tables and are using custom
actions with gacutil to get around this kind of behaviour. Either that, or treat

Windows Installer does not properly deploy policy files into ...
Other applications using the assembly aren't broken because the installer is
reference counting by component guid, so in practice, any clients sharing the
assembly are not broken, and in fact the problem with forcing behavior using
gacutil (or the fusion API) is that it's not aware of installer component
sharing ...

Installer classes dependent on assemblies in the GAC
Losing the reference counting and kludging a fix with a gacutil custom action (
after first copying the assembly to the system) is what people are doing. Note
that Gacutil itself is not in the base 1.0 framework, but it showed up in SP2;
It's not in the 1.1 redist framework, but it is on Server 2003, so finding it

Removing files from GAC
You can write a custom action to remove a file from the gac with gacutil. I'm
not sure what you mean by this part: [...] But the assembly been installed by

that assemblies installed by MSI are recorded by MSI separately; perhaps that's
