Is it possible to install ASP.NET Ajax without using the GAC or the .msi?
I want to be able to manually install ASP.NET Ajax and your new RadControls for ASP.NET Ajax.

Hi Marty,
We do not recommend installing MS ASP.NET AJAX manually, because the ASP.NET AJAX documentation notes that the AJAX dll should be registered in the GAC:
"The installation process installs the ASP.NET AJAX assembly (System.Web.Extensions.dll) in the global assembly cache (GAC). Do not include the assembly in the Bin folder of your AJAX-enabled Web site."
You can find this info in the following article: Installing ASP.NET AJAX.
Nevertheless, I searched in Google and found the following two articles which provides guidance how to install ASP.NET AJAX in the project by registering the
System.Web.Extensions.dll and System.Web.Extensions.Design.dll in the bin folder instead of in the GAC:
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
(Copy System.Web.Extensions.dll (C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC_MSIL\System.Web.Extensions) and System.Web.Extensions.Design.dll (C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC_MSIL\System.Web.Extensions.Design) from my development machine to my ASP.NET App bin folder)
and
ASP Net - Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Extensions.
I hope that the information provided by these articles will be helpful. If you still experience this problem please search in Google for other solutions or search for another hosting provider that provides support for ASP.NET AJAX.
