RE: Any plans for an MSI package?

Jiho,

 

I'm wondering how you went deploying Log4Net.dll into the GAC. 



I have found some references to using Strong Names in the log4net code, but
I haven't seen any documentation in the FAQ about how to install log4net
into the GAC. Did you have to recompile log4net to be able to install it
into the GAC?

 

And if you have created a merge module for log4net it would be excellent if
you could share it with the community.

 

Cheers

I am using WiX toolset to create my MSI package and from what I can tell,
it's as easy as changing <Product> tag to <Module> tag.

 

Here's a link to the project website:

Actually, log4net should ship with both an MSI for itself and an merge
module to include in other installations.

 

The MSI is pretty easy, but I don't know much about merge modules.

I need to deploy log4net to the GAC and I am looking to make this part of an
overall MSI package.  Is there an MSI distribution for log4net?

I would include it as part of my MSI package.  However, in discussing this
on various windows installers newsgroups, I've been told that the best way
to approach this is for the producer of the component to provide an MSI.

It's sort of like why one should obtain a Primary Interop Assembly from the
manufacturer for a COM component if you are going to use one in your .NET
project.

I would volunteer to do it but I'm a newbie to the whole installer thing
myself. 

Any ideas? 
Thanks
