[wix-users] Is bindingRedirect possible for a managed bootstrapper application?

[Gerhard Matzen]

Thank you, Julius.  You are correct.  I was able to create an event handler.

Your link and a blog post was helpful:

This could be of use for you. There is a event fired when the runtime is not able to load a specific assembly.

You might be able to intercept there and load it yourself.
