NGen.exe

[Brian]

The Ngen documentations says that it installs a native image on the "local"
computer.

Does this mean that NGen needs to be run on each computer an app is deployed
to or do you run NGen once on the build machine when creating the msi?

I believe the former but I have read conflicting information.

Thanks,

Brian

You will have to run "ngen" on every machine. This will install the native
image into a special section called Native Image Cache of the GAC.

BTW: I don't see how this question is related to the group
microsoft.public.cert.exam.mcsd.

yes, you should run ngen on every pc because it will generate a different
exe file for any specific cpu
