I am having a problem with Install Shield setup installation in Windows7. I need to place a DLL in GAC during my installation. I set key for my DLL and setup built successfully. When I am installing I got the below error.
"The assembly is not strongly named or is not signed with the minimal key length"
Any suggestions to solve this error are highly appreciated.
Thanks for your reply. I have solved the problem. I have one more issue with making my DLL visible in COM. So that I can get the DLL from VBA code Any help is really helpful to me
There's a property in the installshield component called .NET Com Interop. Set it to Yes.
Mind you I've never had a reason to put an assembly in the GAC and make it COMVisible. Something sounds off there and I'm not really sure that it'll work. You might want to deploy the file to CommonFiles as I'm not 100% positive that registering the COM types and pointing the codebase attribute to the GAC will work or not.
I already tried to set the .NET Com Interop property to yes and deployed in a system. But I was unable to find it in VBA project references. Any other suggestions from your side. Earlier I used to deploy this DLL using .Net setup. At that time I configured this assembly with VSDRCom option. You can see it in below attachment.
