The Connector/Net installer will register the connector within the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) -
this will make the Connector/Net component available to all applications, not just those where you
explicitly reference the Connector/Net component. The installer will also create the necessary links
in the Start menu to the documentation and release notes.
3. If you have chosen a custom installation, you can select the individual components to install,
including the core interface component, supporting documentation (a CHM file) samples and
examples, and the source code. Select the items, and their installation level, and then click Next to
continue the installation.
Note
For Connector/Net 1.0.8 or lower and Connector 5.0.4 and lower the installer
will attempt to install binaries for both 1.x and 2.x of the .NET Framework.
If you only have one version of the framework installed, the connector
installation may fail. If this happens, you can choose the framework version
to be installed through the custom installation step.
