Title: Visual Studio .Net caching assemblies

Tom- Ah yes the DLL inferno we all experience- It seems you are using the default XCOPY behavior for deploying .NET assemblies Unfortunately .NET XCOPY Deployment will NOT handle these scenarios Automated deployment of COM components for .NET applications to interoperate with. Registration is still required. Pre-compiling an assembly to native code on the remote computer. Installing assemblies into the remote computer's Global Assembly Cache. Updating files that are exclusively locked. For instance, a Windows NT Service used to host a .NET Remoting solution. Installing .NET-built Windows NT Services. Automated configuration and creation of IIS directory settings, NTFS security settings, network shares, and Active Directory User and Group accounts. Automated creation of desktop shortcuts, adding to Add/Remove Programs, creation of start menu entries, etc.  For these solutions I would suggest what you will need to do is to use Windows Installer for a clean and decidedly more robust deploy  To effect a Windows Installer deploy i.e. Create Setup and Deployment Projects/ Web Setup Project from .NET Instructions are available at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=""> -Martin .NET Consultant Boston MA 617-852-7822 P.S.
