There have been two responses that document what is necessary to share these components. I have no
idea which OS you are using because you haven't indicated which version.
But here is your answer. If the only deployment mechanism you can use is FrontPage Server
Extensions, and you need to share these components instead of deploying copies for each application,
then you should register your assemblies with the GAC.
The only other *possible* alternatives I cannot recommend. But if you want to investigate:
