Packaging and distributing my dll

Hi

I have created a dll (xyz.dll) and an exe (abc.exe) that I would like to put
up as an open source. I would also like to give a set of directories that
contains sample programs that demonstrates the usage of the 'xyz.dll' and
'abc.exe'. How would I distribute/package it ? Where should the 'dll' and
'exe' reside in the directory? Should the assemblies put in the GAC? Any
comment is really appreciated. Thanks.
 
I would put the exe and dll in the destination folder, and the samples in a
subfolder of it. No GAC is involved here, unless xyz.dll is used by other
apps.

Hello Carlos,

Thanks for the quik response. By destination folder, do you mean to say the
folder that I would 'zip' to the users? Please let me know. Thanks.
 
The destination folder is the one that the installer asks to the user,
typically C:\Program Files\MyApp. If you are using a zip file rather than an
installer, then it is the folder where the user unzip the files.
