I am looking into the Microsoft Enterprise Library 2005 for my
organization. My question is:

What machines would the Enterprise Library need to be installed on to
take advantage of it?

I would think that because it is a code library, installation would
only be required on the developer workstations, and that the
Enterprise Library would not need to be installed on any of the
production servers. All of the Enterprise Library code should be
included with any distributable package in dll form. That would
certainly make it an easier sell for my organization, but before I
start pitching that as an advantage, I'd like to make sure that a
server install is not necessary.

Can anyone confirm this?

If its 2.0 Ent Lib, then all you need to deploy are the assemblies with you
code/project.
(or gac them)

You don't really even need to install on teh dev machines.

You just need 1 developer to build the project(s), and put the RELEASE build
versions in a common place (sourcesafe?)
so they can reference them in their project.
