Hi there,

How can I use third party librarys in my applications? I can Build my applications fine, but when I install them - the 3rd party library doesn't install with it.

Someone told me that i needed to add the library to the GAC - but I haven't a clue what this means or how to do it?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

GAC is the global assembly cache, open it by hitting [Windows+R] and typing in c;\windows\assembly

You can drag files onto it to install files to it. but if it says access denied, you are out of luck. If you are writing a program, your setup application should install those assemblies into the gac.

if you want to add them into the gac, youll have to add them to your wix installer and make sure to have the assembly= block on them

or you can load them dynamically and not put them in the gac

Note that if you want to put an assembly in the GAC and it's not signed, you will have to decompile it and recompile a signed version.
