danielMy solution consists of three DLLs which must be installed on the GAC. So when a new version comes out, these need to be updated on the GAC each time. (There are also a number of third party libraries which are installed there, but updated very infrequently).
Is there any way of doing this using wyBuild?
I can do it with WIX of course, but if I'm going to have to make the user uninstall/reinstall something anyway I don't gain the benefit of the automation that wybuild provides...

Hey Daniel,
We'd planned on adding GAC support to wyUpdate but there hadn't been any user demand for it (until now, that is). We'll add this to the next bugfix release (2.6.19).
Quick questions: I've talked to people about this, but the response has been mixed. Do you keep the file *and* install to the GAC, or do you just install to the GAC and don't leave a file hanging around?
danielHi Wyatt,
Yes, that would make updating my solution soooo much easier.
At the moment my DLLs are put into the GAC and that's the end of it. I don't keep them around anywhere else. It wouldn't matter much to me if they were kept around of course - but I wouldn't use them for anything.
Cheers,Daniel
Any update on GAC support in wyBuild?
It's coming in the upcoming release.
