Greetings.
I have a VB6 client/server application, that needs to interop with a .NET assembly.
I have all required assembly files (.dll, .pdb, .tlb) in my PC.
In my development box, to make call from vb6 to .NET assembly , using regasm command I registered the typelibrary and everything works fine on my development PC.
Now the problem is I have to distribute this functionality to user's PC's. I am using Visual Studio Installer to create deployment package.
Can you please suggest a way to accomplish this task with minimum change in users PC
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks very much

The first thing you will need to do is install the .NET Framework. You should find a fair amount of information at the below link:

With respect to the .NET DLL, you can install it as a private assembly in the application folder or in the GAC (Global Assembly Cache) as a shared component. More info can be found at the below link:
