Hi,

For a web application, is it possible to use something other than the \bin
directory for local assemblies? I do not wish to use the GAC.

My end goal is to have multiple websites use the same directory for local
binaries. The only way for me to accomplish this now is to give them all the
same home directory (which is not a good solution for me).

Thanks,
Brian.
 
I know that the recommended approach is the GAC, but it happens that this is
no good for me in this situation.

If I could just change the private bin path, I'd be set. I'm dealing with a
very large enterprise app that needs to support multiple side-by-side
installations and within each installation there can be an arbitrary number
of websites. I want to be able to control the set of dlls for each
installation independently. The easiest way to do that would be to have one
bin directory per installation BUT that means that all my websites need to
share the same home directory.

So, is it possible to change the private bin path?
 
No it isn't as far as I know. You'll need to find a workaround - a few are
outlined in the URL I gave you.
