Hi. I'm following ACKH's tutorial from http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=1220630031632-841475.post%40n2.nabble.com My intention is to deploy some dlls as native side-by-side assemblies. In my case, I'd have a few myProduct.msi -s and one myCommonFiles.msm (with side-by-side assemblies) included in all of the products. And I expect myProducts to be major upgraded frequently when myCommonFiles would be generated once for a long time.
But the more I think of them (and read on the web) the more scared I am. Since the only dlls installed in WinSxS comes from Microsoft (on a few computers I've checked so far) I'm starting to wonder why it isn't a popular solution. Also, I'd like to know what are the best practices regarding winSxS? How to handle upgrade/uninstall scenarios? Are there any special sequence requirements, besides RemoveExistingProducts after InstallValidate? What with silent (or domain/unattended) installation? I already read something about Trusted Installer in Vista, but I'm not quite sure how does it affect my installation. Thanks for any help.
