How should I go about ensuring the updates are 10MB and avoid the 70MB reinstall?
I am using clickOnce (Microsoft).
My app is 80MB with 70MB made up of Infragistics libraries.
I would like to preinstall the Infragistics libs, to Windows system32 folder or to a common area.
i.e. I cannot see anywhere in Visual Studio that allows for specifying where the library should be installed or if preinstalled, what the path to reference it is.
Oh okay that would do it. Yes, use the GAC.
Just noticed there are "Setup and Deployment" projects.
hmmm, well at least i am up and running.
How are you planning on pre-installing the Infragistics libraries? I'm not very familiar with the use of ClickOnce deployment, but I assume that you're not going to be using this method to deploy the Infragistics assemblies. Assuming you just want to put them on the client computer, your best option should be installed to the GAC so that any applications that use these assemblies can locate them easily.
