Is there a way to register all Infragistic's dll's on a Server so we don't have to create a setup project for each program. I tried copying all dll's and xml's and then using regsvr32.exe, but it gives errors. This is critical to our deployment strategy. Basically, we want all program files sitting on a server, then just create shorcuts on the user desktop which points to the exe that resides on the server.

You might also consider creating your own setup program that installs into the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) those assemblies of ours that you need installed. Installing using this setup program would then be a prerequisite for all other programs that you install. The important point here is that all of your other programs must be using the exact same version of our assemblies (including which service release is used).

Hi Vince, thanks for the reply. Let me tell you what we are trying to accomplish. We want to deploy applications to a server using the xcopy method. However, in order to do this, all Infragistics dll's need to be in the release folder. Over time, this will accumulate a lot of duplicate dlls in different application folders. I am looking for a way to have all Infragistics dll's in one folder on the server, register them, then we won't have duplicate dll's in multiple project folders.
We do not want to do the click-once method for internal reasons.
I have tried using the regasm.exe tool on the server for all the Infragistics dll's, but that did not work.
If I use the gacutil, will that accomplish what I am trying to do?
