Here's how to do it:

1) Install your assemblies to something like "C:\Program Files\Your
Company\Your Product\"
2) Register your assemblies in the GAC
3) You create a key under
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\.NETFramework\AssemblyFolders for each of your
assemblies with a name of "Assembly.Name" (no .dll) and a default value that
points to the location the assembly was installed in step 1.
