IAssemblyCache::InstallAssembly method (winsxs.h)

The InstallAssembly method adds an application reference to an assembly to the side-by-side store and copies the files of the assembly to the side-by-side store. The files of the assembly being installed must be present in the current file system.

Syntax

HRESULT InstallAssembly(
  [in]           DWORD                       dwFlags,
  [in]           LPCWSTR                     pszManifestFilePath,
  [in, optional] LPCFUSION_INSTALL_REFERENCE pRefData
);

Parameters

[in] dwFlags

This parameter specifies how existing files in the side-by-side store are to replaced by files in the assembly being installed.

One of the following options can be specified.

[in] pszManifestFilePath

A pointer to a string value that contains the full path to the dynamic-linked library (DLL) or executable (EXE) file that contains the assembly manifest. Any other assembly files must be located in the same directory as this DLL or EXE.

[in, optional] pRefData

A pointer to a FUSION_INSTALL_REFERENCE structure that describes the application that holds the reference to the assembly being installed. If this parameter is null, the assembly files are copied, but no application reference is added to the side-by-side store.

Return value

This method can return one of these values.
