Where should .NET assemblies be added?

When adding files containing .NET assemblies (.exe or .dll) to the $TARGETDIR$, should they be added only in Assemblies view or both in Assemblies and Files?
Is native .NET pre-compiling supported in InstallAware?
It is in Wise
. However, this feature tend to fail if sequencing is not 100% accurate, so I hope this is cared for better in InstallAware.

Just the assemblies view.
I think there is a dedicated MSIcode command which lets you compile files one by one, so ordering should not be a problem at all.

Is there a way to tie an assembly to a specific feature or component, as it is with files?
Should assemblies with .exe extensions also be put in the Assemblies view?

Yes, that stuff goes into the Assemblies view.
You can bind them to specific features using the MSIcode view. Simply use the "Components" drop-down on the left top corner of the MSIcode script and select the feature to bind to from the right top drop-down. This process will highlight the part of your MSIcode that installs the feature. You can then cut and paste the Install Assembly command into there, which will conditionalize the installation.
