These section discusses installing MM .NET assemblies on a production machine.

Deploying MM .NET for a Windows Application

Typically when deploying an MM .NET application, you add a .NET deployment package to your project (see the .NET Help topic How to: Create or Add Deployment Projects). You can either choose to install MM .NET assemblies into the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) on the production machine or you can simply install them in the same folder as your Windows executable.

Deploying MM .NET assemblies into the GAC on a Production Machine

1. Add a deployment project to your solution

2. Right-click the deployment project, and select View | File System from the shortcut menu.

3. In the File System pane, right-click the File System on Target Machine node and select Add Special Folder | Global Assembly Cache Folder.

4. Right-click the new Global Assembly Cache Folder and select the Add Assembly from the shortcut menu.

5. Add the following assemblies from the Select Component dialog (if you are using any MM .NET third party controls, also select these assemblies):
   • MM .NET Framework Interfaces Standard
     
   • MM .NET Framework Standard
     
   • MM .NET Framework EF
     
   • MM .NET Framework WPF or MM .NET Framework Windows Forms (depending on the type of project)

6. Click OK to add these assemblies to the deployment project's GAC folder.

Deploying MM .NET Assemblies into the Windows Executable Folder

1. Add a deployment project to your solution

2. Right-click the deployment project, and select View | File System from the shortcut menu.

3. In the File System pane, right-click the Application Folder node (or whichever node you are installing your Windows application executable) and select Add Assembly from the shortcut menu.

4. Add the following assemblies from the Select Component dialog (if you are using any MM .NET third party controls, also select these assemblies):
   • MM .NET Framework Interfaces Standard
     
   • MM .NET Framework Standard
     
   • MM .NET Framework EF
     
   • MM .NET Framework WPF or MM .NET Framework Windows Forms (depending on the type of project)

5. Click OK to add these assemblies to the folder.

Deploying MM .NET Assemblies Without Using a Deployment Package

If you are not installing MM .NET assemblies into the Global Assembly Cache on the production machine, you can simply copy the files to the production machine as long as you put them in the same folder as your Windows executable.

Deploying MM .NET for a Web Application

Typically when deploying an MM .NET application, you add a .NET Web deployment package to your project (see the .NET Help topic How to: Create or Add Deployment Projects). You can either choose to install MM .NET assemblies into the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) on the production machine or you can simply install them in your web application's bin folder.

Deploying MM .NET assemblies into the GAC on a Production Machine

1. Add a Web deployment project to your solution

2. Right-click the deployment project, and select View | File System from the shortcut menu.

3. In the File System pane, right-click the File System on Target Machine node and select Add Special Folder | Global Assembly Cache Folder.

4. Right-click the new Global Assembly Cache Folder and select the Add Assembly from the shortcut menu.

5. Add the following assemblies from the Select Component dialog (if you are using any MM .NET third party controls, also select these assemblies):
   • MM .NET Framework Interfaces Standard
     
   • MM .NET Framework Standard
     
   • MM .NET Framework EF
     
   • MM .NET Framework Web Forms
     
   • MM .NET Framework Web Services (only if using Web Services)

6. Click OK to add these assemblies to the deployment project's GAC folder.

Deploying MM .NET Assemblies into the Web Application's bin Folder

1. Add a Web deployment project to your solution

2. Right-click the deployment project, and select View | File System from the shortcut menu.

3. In the File System pane, right-click the Web Application Folder\bin node and select Add Assembly from the shortcut menu.

4. Add the following assemblies from the Select Component dialog (if you are using any MM .NET third party controls, also select these assemblies):
   • MM .NET Framework Interfaces Standard
     
   • MM .NET Framework Standard
     
   • MM .NET Framework EF
     
   • MM .NET Framework Web Forms
     
   • MM .NET Framework Web Services (only if using Web Services)

5. Click OK to add these assemblies to the folder.
