Using WiX to put an assembly into both the GAC and Install Path

I'm just starting to learn how to use WiX and I'm running into a snag. My package uses a third party library that requires some file to exist both in the GAC and the package installation directory.

Using WiX, I can make files show up in the installation directory, or in the GAC, but not both.

Is there any way to work around this?

+3 A:

There's a post here about installing an assembly to both the GAC and local file system. This has some actual WiX code in it that does what you're looking for.

That's close to what I need, but it's not quite I need, and I'm running into a WiX error when I try to use it.The error is as follows. Any thoughts?Unresolved reference to symbol 'File:<MY FILE>' in section 'Product:<MY PRODUCT UUID>'

That error is a typo on my part. Please disregard that bit.

Never mind, that does work.
