The FUSION_INSTALL_REFERENCE structure contains information about the application which references the side-by-side assembly. The assembly being referenced can be added to or removed from the side-by-side assembly store using the InstallAssembly and UninstallAssembly methods.

Syntax

typedef struct _FUSION_INSTALL_REFERENCE  {
  DWORD   cbSize;
  DWORD   dwFlags;
  GUID    guidScheme;
  LPCWSTR szIdentifier;
  LPCWSTR szNonCannonicalData;
}FUSION_INSTALL_REFERENCE , *LPFUSION_INSTALL_REFERENCE ;

Members

cbSize

The size of the structure in bytes.

dwFlags

Reserved, this member must be zero.

guidScheme

The application that uses the side-by-side assembly.

This parameter can have one of the following values:

Value	Meaning
FUSION_REFCOUNT_MSI_GUID	The assembly is referenced by an application that has been installed by using the Windows Installer. The szIdentifier member is set to MSI, and szNonCannonicalData is set to Windows Installer. Use this value for Windows side-by-side assemblies.
FUSION_REFCOUNT_UNINSTALL_SUBKEY_GUID	The assembly is referenced by an application that appears in Add/Remove Programs. The szIdentifier member is the token used to register the application with Add/Remove programs.
FUSION_REFCOUNT_FILEPATH_GUID	The assembly is referenced by an application that is represented by a file in the file system. The szIdentifier parameter is the path to this file.
FUSION_REFCOUNT_OPAQUE_STRING_GUID	The assembly is referenced by an application that is only represented by an opaque string. The szIdentifier member is this opaque string. This value is required for the side-by-side store to check for the existence of opaque references.
FUSION_REFCOUNT_OSINSTALL_GUID	Reserved

 

szIdentifier

A pointer to a string value that identifies the application that references assembly. The meaning of this identifier depends on the guidScheme parameter.

szNonCannonicalData

A string that is used only by the application that reference the assembly.
