I also don't think installation, that only copies dll to GAC, makes much sense. But if it's not difficult, there can be still two packages, installation and zip (or whatever) - it is common practice, isn't it? And yes, ddex-installation automation would be of great importance, because many guys do

Jiri, While I agree that most developers have the capability to unpack and add the elements to the correct place, it is an area that prone to error. One of the things a computer is good at is doing tedious things correctly once it has been trained (programmed). To me, it makes more sense to tra
