    How can i distribute the dot net dll? We used to distribute active x dll for VB6 VC. At the installation with installer, we always reigster the dlls with regsvr32. However for dot net dlls this doesn't work. I have been going through the web and some told me to use regasa.exe. some says don't need to register and just ask custoemrs to provide dot dll files when developping with vb.net or c#. what is the real solution for this issue? SK

      The real solution is to have your customers download the .NET Framework and install it first. You may be able to supply (redistribute) that with your application, but you cannot build it into your installer.

        Search the MSDN for "Bootstrapping" + "NET Framework". Microsoft has an executable project that you can download that allows you to redistribute and install the NET Framework as part of your installation package.

          Interesting... Last time I looked they were saying no you cannot do this as we don't allow it. Guess they must have changed their mind....
