Hi,

In VS.NET 2003, I've created a COM Interop project. I have the DLL and TLB
file in the /bin directory. I want to deploy this to the GAC of another
machine which has the .NET framework installed on it. My questions are:

1. This might sound stupid, but where exactly is the GAC?

2. Do I need to copy both the DLL and TLB files to the GAC?

3. Do I need to run regasm if deploying to the GAC?

4. Do I need to create a strong name for the assembly if deploying to the
GAC?

Thanks in advance for any information,
Ben
