I am deploying a dotnet application. In the past, I've deployed apps that
talk to COM objects, and those seemed to install and run fine.

Now what I'm deploying is an app that talks to actual dotnet assemblies
(contained in 3rd party DLLs that I purchased). My question is this...I've
noticed that in the deployment project, each assembly has a Register
property that can be set to vsdraCOM, vsdraRelativePath, or
vsdraDoNotRegister. What should I set that property to?

Also, are any of the other properties going to need to be set to something
other than their defaults?

I've checked in my VS .NET help, and on MSDN (and google), but I didn't see
anything that gave me a clear picture.

Thanks,

If you use the wizard it will set all the properties as they should be. You
are free to change the settings afterwards.

The Register property should be "vsdraDoNotRegister". Only COM references
should be registered.

I don't know what the defaults are for other properties. I used the wizard.
To use the wizard to get a first run at it done for you don't use the "Setup
Project", instead use the "Setup Wizard". The wizard still creates the same
kind of setup project, it just fills in all the basics for you.
