You do not have to add it manually. You simply reference the DLL. I
don't see what could be simpler. Not having to register things
somewhere is a benefit of .NET, IMHO.

A possibly related problem, however, is that Visual Studio always gives
errors because it's trying to debug into MbUnit. I'm guess this is
either because it's not in the GAC, or because it's compiled with debug
symbols. I will try to investigate further. While I eventually just got
used to it, I'm hearing the frustration of other developers at my
company who I'm trying to get to use MbUnit.

Of course there are enough extra screen in the installer now to have a
"register in GAC" optional checkbox. (As an aside, I recently read Jef
Raskin's _The Humane Interface_ and following his ideas of information
efficiency, the old installer that just installs when run [which could
be improved with a progress bar that fades away when done] is
infinitely more efficient than adding the Next, Next, Finish sequence.
But this is not the MbInstaller project so I won't try to change the
industry "best" practices on that here.)

Thanks, Marc
