[wix-users] DLLs registered during installation

[Joel McBeth]

Do they need to be in the GAC if you install them in the application directory?

Subject: [wix-users] DLLs registered during installation

If I include a DLL (from packages I get from NuGet or develop myself) in my product, add it to the installer and place it in the C:\Programs Files (x86)/MyProgram directory, do these DLLs get automatically registered in the GAC or is there something I need to do in WiX to initiate the registration?

In case it matters, all of these DLLs I include in the installer are digitally signed using our company's digital signature.
