    Hi,

    If you have references to Project 2 from Project 1, then you just need to
    make sure that when you execute Project1.exe, the CLR is able to find
    Project2.dll. You can either make sure Project2.dll is in your path while
    you execute Project1.exe or you can add Project2.dll to your GAC (which is
    similar to registering an unmanaged assembly). To add Project2.dll to your
    GAC, you'll need gacutil.exe which can be found in the .NET SDK.

    If Project1.exe is a windows service and you want it to be controlled
    through the SCM (Service Control Manager), then you'll need to create a
    service installer class and use InstallUtil.exe. More information about
    InstallUtil is available at:

    HTH,
