QuestionInstalling a Windows Service and the GAC Pin
Terry Porter3-May-07 6:04
Terry Porter3-May-07 6:04 
I have a Windows Service written in VB.NET 2005 that consists of an EXE, a private DLL and a shared DLL. I install the EXE and private DLL to the Application Folder and the shared DLL to the GAC. I am installing on a Windows Server 2003 system.

The installation worked fine (or appeared to) when the shared DLL was already in the GAC (because another application installed it there). The first time I tried to do the install on a system where the shared DLL was not in the GAC it failed with an error that indicated that a component was missing.

It appears that when the install has finished copying files and runs InstallUtil to install the EXE file as a Windows Service it fails because it can not find the shared DLL. If I copy the shared DLL to the GAC or the Application Folder prior to the install the error does not occur. If I install the shared DLL to the Application Folder instead of the GAC the error does not occur (except now other applications can not share the DLL). If I install the shared DLL to both the GAC and the Application Folder the error does not occur.

I have adopted the last workaround as a temporary fix but I would like to install a single copy of the shared DLL into the GAC.

Has anyone seen this issue before and/or know of a solution?

BTW The problem does not occur if the exe is not a Windows Service presumably because the installation is not attempting to load any application code during the install.
