I have a VB2005 program that is using DAO against Access 97 files. (Yes, 
this is what I need to do...ADO.Net is over 20X slower and my incoming files 
are Access '97. Would that I could change that!)

This runs great on my development machine. I'm trying to 1-touch deploy from 
our server. The previous versions that used ADO.Net worked great. The error 
that I am getting is:

"Unable to install or run the application. The application requires that the 
assembly dao Version 10.0.4504.0 be installed in the Global Assembly Cache 
(GAC) first."

I checked in my GAC, and I do have the dao assembly installed. It is not 
installed on the target machines...so the error makes sense. I tried to add 
it using the Administrative tool for their Framework 1.1, but I am just 
pointing it to the dao360.dll file, and it errors out and lets me know I can 
only add assemblies.

I have read a bunch of articles on both the GAC and creating assemblies to 
install in the GAC, and can't quite get the gist enough to make this work. 
Is there anyone out there who has created an assembly containing the 
reference to dao 3.6 and successfully deployed it as a GAC assembly? If so, 
would you mind sending some step-by-step instructions?

Thanks,
Paul

Do you mean you are using ClickOnce deployment? I have never heard of 
1-touch deployment.

Under References for your peojct, what is "Copy Local" set to? Have you 
tried setting it to true? This worked for me with DirectX, because I didn't 
want it installed in the GAC.

If you truly want it installed in the GAC, or just don't want it to try to 
install DAO at all, set CopyLocal to false, and check the files included in 
the deployment (there's an option on the Publish page) and make sure the 
dll's are not being included.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU! So simple..yet...

Took me a couple of minutes to figure out that I needed to select the dao 
item on the list and change it's properties in the property list. Once I did 
this and published the client had NO problem w/ the install. Thanks so much!
