Installshield Express - VS2003 GAC problem

I have a strong named assembly (.dll) and I need it for com interop. Works
on the local machine fine XPSP2. Want to build an install. Put the dll in
the GAC and a target local folder, then took the regasm /regfile output and
put that in the reg section of installshield express. Installshield installs
the dll in the local folder, does the registry stuff but skips the install in
the GAC.

I do the gacutil /i manually and it works.

I remove the reg part of the install and it installs in the GAC and I have
to do the regasm manually.

What's up with this?

Thanks,

Mike

Switched away from InstallShield to a regular VS2003 setup project and it
gets the job done.

Thanks,

Mike
