Unable to compile MSI action install assembly

Post by vswhitehead »

Greetings,

On my very first compile I received the below error message: Error during build: Unable to compile MSI action install assembly

Reading the forum it appears the problem is that Assemblies can not be written to the GAC unless they have a strong name. My Assemblies are written to the target directory, while my third party controls (devExpress, Janus Grid, etc) are being written to the GAC. I would assume that the third party controls would have strong names, so why the error?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

V Whitehead.

Dear User,

are you able to verify if you are using a Strong-Named Assembly?
