      Mark,

      You don't necessarily ^have^ to generate a strong name key, nor do you
      have to add your assemblies to the GAC.

      The #1 prerequisite is of course to have the .NET framework installed.
      Beyond that, what you need to do is dependent on the structure of your
      program.

      If you want to add assemblies to the GAC, then yes, you will have to
      generate a strong name key. If you have COM interop assemblies, then you
      might want to make sure that your COM components are installed as well on
      the target machine. Serviced components also have to be strong named.

      Is there anything in your program that is not purely .NET? That should
      tell you the things you have to be aware of.

      Hope this helps.

          Is there a link where we can download the framework from for free?

              We've got 2 C# apps and 1 native C/C++ app. The C# apps share common
              custom controls we've developed. I thought it was important to add your
              files to the GAC to stop version conflicts (as it always stores each
              version of a file you register)?


              I thought if we set the option when building to only build with a
              specific version, that would help with version control too?
