i have a no-touch application. it runs on IIS and seems to be working
ok, but when using fuslogvw.exe after it has launched i get the msg
listed below (after my quiestions).

now the odd part.  the application runs fine and all the needed dll's
are located under /winnt/assembly/download and all of my assemblies
are strong named

QUESTIONS

a/ So im trying to figure out why fuslogvw is saying it is failing to
bind the assemblies? Are my dll's being downloaded each time i run the
application even though they are located on the client machine?  if
they are i'd like to fix this for performance.

b/ I also noticed that client IE keeps them in its cache, if a bad
programmer is testing and putting version from 1.0.0.0 to 2.0.0.0 and
back again 2.0.0.0 to 1.0.0.0, the application starts having issues.
I then must clear all internet temporary files and then rerun and
everything is ok (except the same ol' fuslogvw.exe says it cant find
the binding)

Is this behavior normal? am i reading the log file wrong? or should it
not be failing?

any help or insight would be great TYSM =)
