Hi

I download today the assmbly for DevExpress 8.1.1 and put the files in Microfour folder, but (I have this same problem with 7.3.8) when I drag to C:\Windows\Assembly the files a message shows saying "Access denied" I'm runing Windows Vista

Be sure to also drag the DLL into the GAC (C:\Windows\Assembly).  Once done, go back into Visual Studio and this assembly will then support the 8.1.1 version of DevExpress.

Thanks for your help

Regards

If I have to I'll edit all the .vbproj files in our solution, but I'd rather not do that and I'm hoping you'll able to me what simple technique I'm overlooking.

Yeah, we have fought this non-stop as well.  There are several things that you can do.  One thing that you can do is try to direct all of the references to the C:\Program Files\Common Files\MicroFour\StrataFrame folder by removing the references and then selecting that specific file.  However, there are times that it will try to automatically select the GAC version, so if this happens you may want to temporarily remove the SF assemblies from the GAC while you are selecting the others.

If you do change the vbproj file, then this is generally something that you only have to do once per project.  So this really isn't as bad as you may think.  Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do.  This is something that I have posted to Microsoft before...coming up with an easy solution to pulling from a common location...and to be consistent!
