That's not how .Net works. You're thinking about it as if it were COM, which
it ain't.
You basically have 2 choices:
1. Put the assemblies in the bin folders of their respective apps.
2. Register the assemblies inthe Global Assembly Cache (GAC).
Unless you have a really good reason to register the assemblies in the GAC,
I would go ahead with the simple XCopy deployment. The GAC is really there
for things like the CLR, which is used by all .Net applications. If you only
have 2 that use the same assemblies, I wouldn't bother.
