Installing Published app and getting error on install

i am getting the following error message when trying to install a published version of my app on a vista machine...

Unable to install or run application.  The application requires that assembly Microfour Strataframe DBEngine Vesion 1.6.0.0 be installed in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) list.

i have updated to 1.6.6 so not sure what this might mean.

any help is appreciated.

Are you deploying using ClickOnce or a standard MS Build Project?
By Trent L. Taylor - 9/23/2008

Well, first of all, it is not necessarily required that any assembly be placed in the GAC.  So this message would be coming from your installation I assume.  Secondly, you may already have this assembly in your GAC which your install is not taking into account or is unable to overwrite (which is probably for the best in regards to overwriting).

Hello Mike

I´m actually using both approaches ClikcOnce and MSBuild Setup Project.



For the ClickOnce you´ll need to make sure that all required assemblies are included in the Application File Configuration:

And for the MS Build you can Add the StrataFrame merge modules that came with the installation:

Under XP will be: C:\Program Files\MicroFour\StrataFrame\Distribution\

See attachments



I hope this helps
