How do I setup my DLL so that I need only install them on server computer?

Question

I have created a simple payroll program that connects to SQL Server 2000. Now I want to deploy the program to 5 client terminals and deploy SQL Server 2000 to a server terminal. But at the moment, I need to copy my DLLs (which contains data access code) to each client terminal. What do I need to do to deploy these DLLs in a manner that only the server terminal needs to have the DLL copies and the client, just the exe?

I am using WinForms and .Net 2.0 BTW, and web services and WCF is not an option. Thanks.

Answer 1

Without a web application of some sort, it's impossible.  The situation you're describing is exactly why people move to web forms and web services.
