Hello,

revisiting ... 
The affected assemblies are already extracted/copied from temporarily written
cab files into "C:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\GAC\" before
the MsiPublishAssemblies stage.
This looks like a temporary GAC location until it comes to
MsiPublishAssemblies.

In MsiPublishAssemblies most of the assemblies are temp extracted from primary
cab "netfx1.cab" and directly installed into system GAC.
Unfortunately the assemblies from previous install step which are also members
of MsiAssembly table have their assembly->file->IsCompressed set and hence the
install_assembly() stage is skipped.

I resolved the source of these assemblies to their original target location
"C:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\GAC\" and made them valid
install_assembly() targets.
For these assemblies the original target must be removed after this step.
It seems useless to keep them in
"C:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\GAC\" - they will never be
visible as GAC assemblies from this (temp) location.

With ACTION_MsiPublishAssemblies properly fixed, all assemblies get correctly
installed into system wide GAC (added additional trace msg to track the state)

The app which uses the VB.NET assembly then starts and runs successfully - with
native gdiplus and riched20 overrides to work around other insufficiencies.
