Deploying adodb.dll PIA

[Guest]

Is there an official way of deploying adodb.dll (the PIA for ADO)? It is not
enought to just put it in the program directory as I need to install it in
the GAC.

VS.net puts it in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft.NET\Primary Interop Assemblies".

Thanks,

Jonathan

I believe the recommended method is to install any of the Office PIA in the GAC (mostly likely
because these assemblies are shared), but you can also install them in the same folder as your app.

Thanks. It seems odd having to install an update for Office when Office is
not even installed!
