What is best practice for deploying EIF, is this
described somewhere?  I don't want to have to do a full
install EIF on every development machine, let alone
production environments.  Presumably we can just copy the
bin directory around and place the EIF assemblies in the
GAC?  I tried to play around with this but was getting
errors when then trying to installutil my app.

With the current released version of EIF, the best (and sadly - the only)
practice is to install via the MSI (i.e. the EnterpriseInstrumentation.exe
- self extracting exe that contains an EnterpriseInstrumentation.msi).

Note: if you see the EIF readme.htm - it gives instructions on passing
switches into the install to specify to only install sub parts (e.g. dont
install the samples or documentation on the target machine)

If you manually install EIF - then it is unsupported by Microsoft. (If you
dont care, I can show you what the steps would be to manually install it).

The target production environment was server machines and not end-user
machines. It was thought that rolling out EIF onto server machines via an
MSI was acceptable. (I guess I can go along with this depending on the size
of the production environment).

Sorry I couldnt be of more help.

Thanks, Mike.  I had not looked in the readme (doh!),
just the .chm file.  Silent msi installation should be
fine for us.
