Unable to compile MSI action install assembly

Post by PDE14 »

I am getting the "Unable to compile MSI action install assembly" error message. I understand (see http://www.installaware.com/forums/view ... f=2&t=6618) this is because I have two assemblies which are not strongly named.

Because of many imported non-strongly-named referenced assemblies I cannot strongly name my assemblies at present.

The workaround given was to "you just have to replace the Install Assembly commands with Install Files. These commands are THE SAME when you are not installing to the GAC"

But they are not the same. On the assemblies tab there is a "Register Assembly (regasm)" option which is not available for files.

I need to have regasm run on one non-strongly-named exe assembly and one non-strongly-named dll assembly. How can this be achieved?

Dear PDE14,

you may use the "Register assembly" command once your "non-strongly-named assemblies" are installed via "install files" command.
