Installing in the GAC WITH Com Interop

This is not quite the same as addressed in the sticky post.

I want to install into the GAC, and to register the component for COM Interop. Other solutions that I have evaluated have this as an option. Does 7.x support this? If not, how do you suggest we do it? Running Regasm as a program requires a copy of the assembly outside of the GAC, right?

I am unsure of whether it has to be outside of the GAC, but it's likely. Install it to the normal dir and the GAC. Won't harm anything.

Thank you

I'm migrating off of a very old version of Wise that has no knowledge of .Net. In that solution, we install to a temporary folder, run regasm, run gacutil, and then blow away the temporary folder.

That works. Was hoping there was something that was just a point and click :(
