I added my DLL's and their strong name key files to GAC dir. And tried to rebuild the setup. Then I got the following error.
Error 1 -7104: The destination of the component AllOtherFiles9 is the GlobalAssemblyCache. The component must contain a key file. ISDEV : error : -7104: The destination of the component AllOtherFiles9 is the GlobalAssemblyCache. The component must contain a key file.
Problem: The assembly will not install to the Global Assembly Cache
Definitely try to get C working because then you will not have to pull in the properties of the assembly each time you change it in the next rev of the installers. That would become a real pain.
I can't tell for sure because the "file system" view is shown in the picture, but you might have two key files in one component. You should only have one key file per component. It might also be that teh component wizard created an "AllOtherFilesn" component for your snk files, but didn't assign either one as a key.
I removed one DLL and its strong name key and try to build the setup once again. It build successfully. Then when I tried to run this setup in Windows7 OS I am getting the following error.
the assembly is not strongly named or is not signed with the minimal key length
After this error, I created another strong name for my DLL and tried to install once again. Same error I got again again.
You use Microsoft's SN.EXE to apply the SNK file to your DLL. If you are using Visual Studio, this is a project option for the compiler.
You never ever; let me repeat myself; never ever deploy the SNK file. Doing so allows someone to create assemblies and sign them as if they came from you.
