Deploying as Part of an Application

The preferred technique is to deploy the proxy and its runtimes as simply another portion of the consuming application. The Microsoft design for XCOPY installations implies that the proxy DLL and the runtime DLLs must be placed somewhere beneath the APPLICATION BASE directory.

By default, an application can only find DLLs specifically residing in the application base directory. You can add subdirectories to the privatePath settings of the application in the application config file. The APP and XML samples provided by CA Gen put all the DLLs in a subdirectory called bin.privatePath should be set to search the bin subdirectory. Applications installed under IIS as part of ASP.NET automatically search a directory called bin, so the ASP.NET sample also follows this convention.
