You'll need to strong-sign your shared class library. Then in the setup
project, go to the File Editor and right click on the File System on Target
Machine node and select the "Global Assembly Cache" folder. Drag your
Project Output group, or the file from wherever it currently is in the
setup project to the Global Assembly Cache folder.
You don't need to do anything but re-compile your applications to get them
to use the GAC copy. By recompiling, they'll have a "strong name
reference". The .NET Frameworks always checks the GAC first for "strong
name referenced" dependencies, and loads them from there automatically.
