Aspose.Pdf for .Net could be deployed on your machine in two ways: using full MSI Installer or just the Single Dll. Both of them are available for free download at the Aspose.Pdf download page . Using the installer has a couple of advantages:
It makes all necessary entries into the system registry to expose Aspose.Pdf classes to COM applications, adding the assembly to the Add Reference dialog box in Visual Studio etc;
It contains the demo projects that allow you to obtain "real" code samples;
It contains the offline API documentation.
Installing Aspose.Pdf for .Net
Using MSI Installer
Using DLL Only
The installer(Aspose.Pdf.msi) includes a default start condition (MsiNetAssemblySupport) ,namely NET Framework version 1.1.4322. This start condition verifies that the .NET Framework is installed on the destination computer. If the .NET Framework is not found on the destination computer, the installation is stopped and you receive the error message like:
This setup requires the .Net framework version 1.1.4322. Please install the .Net Framework and run this setup again. the .NET Framework can be obtained from the web. would you like to do this now?.
