\viewkind4\uc1\pard\lang2052\f0\fs20 Hey Rlusian,
\par
\par welcome to webservice newsgroup.
\par As for the how to properly redistribute the WSE components together without own application, here are some of my understanding and suggestion:
\par
\par 1. Surely the prefred means is using our WSE runtime redistributable package (we provide both ones for WSE 2.0 SP3 and WSE 3.0 release....), so we can made a bootstrapper setup component which check the client environment and determine whether to launch the WSE redistributable package....
\par
\par Web Services Enhancements (WSE) 2.0 SP3 for Microsoft .NET Redistributable Runtime MSI
\par http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=8070e1de-22e1-4c78-ab9f-07a7fcf1b6aa&displaylang=en
\par
\par 2. If you're wantting to manually deploy those WSE components (assemblies) to the target machine, we should not simply xcopy them into our application's directory (espeically for ASP.NET application since asp.net dosn't support strong-named assembly in private bin dir...). We should install the assemblies into GAC(the WSE redistributable package will install them into GAC). This can make the WSE components shared to all the application that reference it... Also, make sure your application's setup package also including MS's EULA for the WSE components ;-)

\par We have an application which uses WSE 2.0 and which will be installed using
\par InstallShield. We need the WSE 2.0 installation to be handled silently using
\par InstallShield, and we have a modular app which may have multiple Web services.
\par
\par I have searched the Web and found conflicting accounts of how to deploy WSE
\par 2.0 with an application. What are the supported methods for installing a Web
\par Service along with WSE 2.0?
\par
\par 1) install the WSE 2.0 redistributable
\par 2) just copy the Microsoft.Web.Services2.dll to the application's directory
\par (i.e., xcopy install)
\par
\par Which of these methods are supported? If only method 1 is supported, is
\par there a merge module for WSE 2.0 SP3? If not, how is this best handled from
\par InstallShield?
\par
\par One of our sister applications has a number of Web services, and the
\par installation has been problematic, with
\par installation/reinstallation/uninstallation issues. In the end they just
\par installed it with every module which involved a Web Service, even if this
\par meant multiple WSE installations in a single user install.
