Only put assembly in GAC

Hi,

Is it possible to make a setup project to just install an assembly in
the GAC without making an application folder etc. ?

I want to make an installer to only install an assembly on a target
machine.

Yes. I suspect you're missing the Right-click on File System on Target
System, Add Special Folder -> GAC if you can't see how to do the install.
Just add your assembly there.

Thanks Phill,

But that is exactly what I do now. The problem is not to get the
assembly in the GAC, but to ONLY get the assembly in the GAC. The
installer must know somehow that it must not do anything else. When I
run me installer, it asks me where to make the application folder. I
don't want an applicatioin folder, I don't even want to install an
application. I only want to 'abuse' the installer to put an assembly in
the GAC.

Regards,
Henk

That dialog that asks for the installation folder can be deleted from the UI
in the User Interface view.
