Deployment with Serviced Components Question

Pete Wittig

Hi,

I am trying to create a Setup and Deployment project for a Serviced
Component. In my solution I have two projects. The first is the class
library that contains my serviced component as well as an installer class.
The second is the setup and deployment project.

I have added the "Global Assembly Cache Folder" to the "File System on
Target Machine". I then copied the files in the "Applicatio n Folder" into
the "Global Assembly Cache Folder". Next I opened the Custom Actions tab and
added the installer to the "Install" folder. The build works fine. When I
run the installer it fails and the error log gives me this message:

System.Enterpri seServices.Regi strationExcepti on: SOAP Publication failed
because a required assembly is not in the GAC.

My issue is, I need the .dll to be installed in the GAC before the Serviced
Component is registered. I have not found a way to do this. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

I was able to make this work. You need to add the assemblies to the GAC
programmaticall y. I followed this link and downloaded the code.

I added the FusionInstaller .cs class to my project and then made the
appropriate calls within my custom action. This is the only way I was able
to make this work.

I could not find a way using deferred execution custom actions and
sequencing with Orca, or any way to do this through Visual Studio. If anyone
knows of another way to accomplish this please let me know. I'd be
interested to hear it.

Hope this helps.

Problem With Comparison Operator <=> in G++

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
