Hello,
Do you have a strictly runtimes-only package for NetAdvantage_WinForms_20111?
I need to distribute (to ~12,000 desktops) via SCCM, a package that installs all of the runtime files for the newest version (NetAdvantage_WinForms_20111) but none of the files/reg entries that allow it to plug into Visual Studio. (I wouldn't want our users trying to develop code!) :)
If not a standalone package, do you have a whitepaper outlining which files would be needed assuming every control will be used at some point, down the road?
Thank You,
-Christopher Lizzotte
Hello Christopher,
There is no runtime package for NetAdvantage. In order for a client to run applications built with NetAdvantage, they only need the referenced assemblies to be in their GAC.
My recommendation is to create an installer that will place all of the needed NetAdvantage DLLs into the client machine's GAC. To find the needed files, take a look at our assemblies list: http://help.infragistics.com/NetAdvantage/WinForms/2011.1/CLR2.0/?page=Win_Windows_Forms_Assemblies.html
Please read over the Deployment Overview for more information: http://help.infragistics.com/NetAdvantage/WinForms/2011.1/CLR2.0/?page=Win_Deployment_Overview.html
If you have any further questions regarding this issue, please don't hesitate to ask.
SORRY - I'm dumb !!!
What is GAC ? Is it a subdirectory of the app or of Windows ?
Many thanks in advance
Christopher,
Note that if your developers apply a service release with an update to the application you would also need to redistribute the updated NetAdvantage assemblies.
Let me know if you have any questions with this matter.
