  Hello,

  In my understanding, the installer of AR13 installed the AR assemblies into the GAC itself. You don’t need to install them manually.

  Hope it clarifies.

  Thanks.

  Nope… uninstalled it completely… re-ran the msi as admin … no luck. NOT in the GAC…
  
  So … my question again is — I ran the install for ActiveReports 13.x. How do I get them installed to the GAC

  C:\Windows\Assembly Version 6 is there … version 11 is there … but NO version 13

  Hello,

  Active13 only supports the 4.6.2 or higher .Net framework. Hence, they do not have CLR of version 2 in the installer that’s why the assembly is not registered at “C:\Windows\Assembly”. You could find the same at following location where assembly of CL4 version 4 is registered:
  
  C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL.

  For more information, you can refer the following link:

  Thanks.

  Can they be safely copied to the C:\Windows\Assembly so my references can all come for the same location??

  Sorry … I was out of country.
  
  I would like this because:
  
  1… Ver 11.xxx did it and it was nice (between projects in VB/C# and ASNA) not to have to worry about including the dll’s in the BIN whenever I promoted (published) and sent out web site updates.
  
  2… Just cleaner to use.

  Thanks

  Gollnick,

  In my understanding, you will not face any issue due to this. The dll’s will include into the Bin folder after you published.

  You can give a try at your end.

  Thanks,
