My installer has grown very large b/c of file duplication. Some of our DLL s are in two places (local and GAC or local and system32 folders). How can I use the DuplicateFile table or other Installshield mechanism (installscript?) to duplicate the file in the GAC? It s the same file that needs to be copied to two locations but I only want it in the installer once because of its size.
My project type is actually Installscript MSI.
Hopefully my request is clear. Thanks!
The DuplicateFile table doesn t support deploying to the GAC because MSI doesn t uses a different pattern to deploy to the GAC then most folders. It uses MsiPlublishAssemblies which interacts with Fusion.
You have to declare 2 components ( 1 for normal and 1 for the GAC ). If size is a concern for you, WiX has a feature called smart cabbing which can create your cab and stream it into media with multiple file rows sharing the same storage.
