    Distribute Microsoft Web Administration assembly with my project

    Hi,

    I have a small project that configures IIS7 (create Application/Virtual Directory etc.) in a deploy machine.

    I would like to inlude in the installation procedure the Microsoft Web Administration (Microsoft.Web.Administration.dll) assembly and deploy/install it in the folder where my project is installed.

    Can I do this (do we have the right to do)?

    Why would you want to do this?  If IIS7 is installed, MWA will be in the GAC anyway, and if IIS is not installed, having a copy of the assembly will not help you.  Also, this approach would mean that you will not receive any hotfixes to the assembly.

    I don't know whether you are allowed to do it or not.

    Thanks for your answer.

    Even if it's in GAC (I saw it) why I can't see from Add References... (right click on my project References) in .NET tab ?

    Visual Studio does not display every Assembly that is in the GAC it only displays the ones that are in the folders listed in their Registry key:
