Reading an entry on Jan Tielens' Blog, about registering the output assemblies of the new Microsoft Enterprise Library, I was struck by the fact we deliver MSI packages to our client and want a non-intrusive installation if at all possible. This lead me to creating a Custom Action for use within MSI packages in order to install these assemblies correctly. This Custom Action is not dependant on installutil, it performs the necessary steps itself.

Just add the Custom Action to any project using the new Enterprise Library and the correct components (the same ones as registered through use of 'InstallServices.bat') will be installed / uninstalled as appropriate.

Download the component here (sourcecode only, compile before use)
