Hi!

As far as I know assemblies which are precompiled with NGen must be placed
into the GAC. Is it also possible to make use of XCopy-Deployment & NGen
assemblies?

Thanks

NGen never required GAC deployment. The NGen'd assembly does get placed near
the GAC; On my machine:

C:\WINDOWS\assembly\NativeImages_v2.0.41202_32

NGen should only be run on the machine that the assembly will be loaded on.
So, no, once it's NGen'd it's targeted for the machine it was NGen'd on.
If you want to install an assembly on a different machine, NGen it once it's
installed (or better yet, make that part of your installer).
