I was under the impression that the dll's that install with the Guidance Automation Extensions (the ones in %vsdir%\common7\ide\publicassemblies) are supposed to get installed into the GAC, however none of mine are put there after running the install. When I try to manually install them i receive an error on microsoft.visualstudio.textemplating stating that it is not properly signed.

I'm runnning vs2005 team developer.

Am I off my rocker here?

The GAC is not supported for GAX/GAT or your own package assemblies. As GAX is not installed to the GAC, you cannot install a library that references GAX assemblies into the GAC.

That said, you can use GAC'ed assemblies from your package (i.e. a DSL you create or something else).
