automate GACing assembly

Hi,

Unfortunately the deployment Utility does not support adding dll's to the GAC. Still I want to automate it. (By the way on target machines GacUtil is not present). I tried to make a setup project that only adds a dll to the GAC, however the setup project still makes an application folder. How can I turn this off?

Regards,
Henk

I haven't used the Visual Studio installer projects for some time, but is there not a File page in the project? Can you not delete the app folder in that File page?

Saying that I can highly recomend WiX as a method of generating MSIs. Checkout the very good tutorial if you are interested.
