Can I use XCOPY deployment to deploy the exception management assemblies?
Yes, with a caveat. As part of the installation process, you must ensure that the supplied installer class (ExceptionManagerInstaller) is instantiated in order to allow it to create the Event sources used by the default publisher when writing to the Windows Event Log. If you deploy the Exception Manager assembly within a Windows Installer package, the Windows Installer automatically instantiates the installer class. However, if you use xcopy deployment, you must manually instantiate the installer component by using the Installutil.exe system utility at install time. For more information, refer to the Exception Manager Application Block documentation.
