I have created a software app with VS2005 and the telerik suite, I have to install this application on one of my clients computers without installing the Telerik Winforms suite on their pc, in a previos post I was told I need to include the assemblies in my application folder, how do I do this. I am not familiar with deployment of prorams at all so I will need some more elaboration.
Thanks

Sorry
I didnt quite properly read the article the previous post to me, by assemblies you meant .dll's in the Telerik folder to be copied into my exe directory . I was also refered to the GAC, what exactly is this ?

Hi Stuart,
Yes, you can use the assemblies (i.e. dlls) from the "bin" subfolder of the folder where our controls are installed. You can minimize the assemblies that you copy on the user computer by using only these assemblies that are referenced by your application...
GAC stays for "Global Assembly Cache". Its directory is "%WINDOWS%\assembly". The tool with which you can add and remove assemblies from GAC is "gacutil.exe". Detailed information on GAC you can find in MSDN:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa720110(VS.71).aspx
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/34149zk3(vs.71).aspx
The easiest way to deploy an application is by putting the assemblies you need in the folder where the executable file goes after the installation. The other way of deployment is to put the referenced assemblies in GAC using your installation scripts (or gacutil.exe). For in-deep information about deploying application review:
