Assemblies Page

Windows Installer has the ability to install .NET and Win32 assemblies. These are installed as side-by-side assemblies on Microsoft Windows XP or later. Side-by-side assemblies allow applications to safely share assemblies avoiding previous issues with assembly sharing, such as DLL conflicts. Instead of a single version of an assembly that assumes backward compatibility with all applications, side-by-side assembly sharing enables multiple versions of a COM or Win32 assembly to run simultaneously on the system.
