Hi,

using the setup project in VisualStudio : I add an exe that uses a component so I add the component to the setup-project as well

but how can I specify that the component must be installed in GAC when the client runs the setup for the application ?
(so far is it only installed in the directory of the client)

thanks
Chris

If no one points you to an easy way to do what you want (I don't know if one
exists), you can use the native API:
