We've migrated the code from VB to VB.Net.For implementing the Print,Visual Basic Powerpacks is used. What's the best option for deploying Visual Basic Powerpacks in client machine ? We don't have 'gacutil' in the client machine .Please advice on a resolution.

Thanks,

Well you can use an installer which would install the VB power pack along with your application. That way it will register itself in the global assembly at the client location.

The other way if you dont want to put it in the global cache, in your project simple use the copy local option to true which will copy the assemblies in the build folder and you can then distribute the binary along with these assemblies.

You can weigh in the pros and cons of the two approaches and select whichever suites you.
