Setup and share libraries in GAC

[Eduard]

Hey,

I want to create a setup project which places a few code libraries in the
GAC. I added the GAC folder in my setup project, and placed the assemblies
in that folder. Now after install, i see the (strong named) assemblies in
the GAC. So far so good!

The only propblem is I don't see these assemblies in my Reference window in
VS.NET. Since I want to share these libraries, I want to do 'something' that
makes those (four) assemblies in the GAC visible in my Reference Window. Is
there a way to do this?

Not really, VS' Add Reference dialog doesn't show the GAC content. This KB
article explains how to get assemblies listed there.
