Re: Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility



Usarian,

I would recommend you refactor your program to remove the dependency on
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility if at all possible.

Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility is intended for upgraded programs only,
I hope you are not writing new code that uses it...

Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility by default is not installed, as its use
is for upgraded apps only,

You need to manually add the file to your install package, I would consider
registering it in the GAC, although there is some benefit on leaving it side
by side in your app. Having it side by side with your app will help insure
it is removed when you app is removed...
