A lot of the "how" depends on what tool you're using to build the msi file. You need to populate the
MsiAssembly and MsiAssemblyName tables in the msi file (look in the Platform SDK). If you're using
Visual Studio Installer, when you're in the File System View, right-click on File System on Target
Machine - it has a GAC option. Having done that you can add your assemblies to it. InstallShield,
Wise and others have installer products that let you specify the GAC as the destination. Most tools
do useful things like automatically pull out strong name, version etc into those msi tables.
