Hi!

I have troubles adding nhibernate.dll to GAC.

It registers successfully, but when I open the project and try to add reference from GAC, Nhibernate is not listed. How?

this is not releated with nhibernate.
this is what expected.

you can add reference from any other location. and when you releasing your application you can install the nhibernate.dll to the gac. (and don't keep the another copy in the bin or the same directory with windows app.)

OK, got it, thanks. It's interesting that even when assembly is in the gac, I can not see it in Visual Studio

Visual Studio doesn't use the GAC in the references dialog, it uses the Registry. Add the folder where NHibernate.dll sits to a subfolder of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\AssemblyFolders key. In other words, create a key under there, call it whatever you want, and set the default value to the path where NHibernate.dll lives. Then you will see NHibernate in the VS "Add Reference" dialog.

Note that this is in addition to adding NHibernate.dll to the GAC.

Yeah, I discovered all this the hard way :(

Is there any chance NHibernate can have an actual installation in the future which would do this? :D

Thanks for the tip, k-dub! I will try this tomorrow morning right away!
I would be nice yes to have nHibernate installer with DLLs automatically added to GAC
:mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Oh, I'd second that!

Symon.

Yes, confirmed, it works very nicely.
