I am trying to get the deployment to do what I want, but I just can't.
I want my folders to be setup like below..
Main Program Folder
- Program EXE
- Program PDB
- AppStart EXE
- AppStart PDB
- Program and AppSTart .config files
System [or any other folder other than the main program folder]
- All my Infragistic DLLs i'm using
- Microsoft Application Block DLLs
I can get the installer to put the files where I want them, however it
appears none of the DLLs get registered correctly because it will crash out
saying it can't find the Microsoft App. Block DLLs and the Infragistic DLLs
unless they are placed in the Main program folder, which I don't want to do.
What do I need to do here?

Ever heard of DLL-Hell? You are on the highway, your last exit is coming up
fast, and you are in the wrong lane, friend.
a) Not everyone has the right to write into the Windows directory. Those
people will not be able to install your application.
b) The only good reason for putting some DLLs into the Windows directory is
to share the library with other apps. If you do that, and you uninstall the
other apps, or upgrade the other apps, you break this one. (DLL Hell).
Trust me... I've seen perfectly good applications fail when another app is
installed and never used. I never want to go back there again.
Simply give in, and put all of the DLLs in the same folder. (unless you want
to register them in the GAC).

I have an application that processes text strings using information in a
file. I want to deploy this app using no-touch deployment. The config
files and everything else are deployed just fine, but the CGT file (compiled
Grammar Table) is not, and the program crashes when it attempts to read this
file.
Is there any way to have this file loaded as needed?
With no touch deployment, how do you copy files that aren't assemblies down

Hi,
I have deployed a .NET winform application using a web server. The
application has some dependencies on a 3rd party assemblies.
1) If I have those assemblies dlls in a client's GAC, the client could
run the application.
2) Also, if the client doesn't use the web deployment, but the XCOPY
approach where the assemblies dlls are included in the same directory

Here is what we are doing, we have a couple of dlls that are shared
(i.e. used by a number of other dlls and applications). These dlls have
their own setup process, built with VS2003 setup and deployment package.
They are strongly named and have keys. We specify to deploy to the GAC only

Hi,All,
When i deploy Enterprise library with my application ,i used XCOPY to
deploy it into my test server. But when application runs, shown some error
related registry. (But actually I haven't any method or component to wrote
registry)
After I used "InstallUtil" to registry Enterprise Library (those DLLs)
to the deployment server, the application runs smoothly.
Now I wonder why i need to registry those Enterprise Library DLLs into

Create two ASP.NET applications. Run them on the development machine to
make sure they are error free.
Publish the fist application to the root of a remote webspace.
Call a page and see that it operates correctly.
Publish the second application to the root of the same remote webspace.
Permit it to overwrite existing files.
Call a page and notice that it waits forever.

this is really the best approach. I'd appreciate any input from someone with

Some people don't seem to think that using an installer package is really

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
