Primary interop assemblies must be distributed to well-known ___location points and described well enough for developers to find and use them. If you plan to use a public forum for distribution, use the more descriptive naming convention (VendorName.LibraryName) to help developers locate assemblies.
You can distribute a primary interop assembly as a single assembly (that is, a file). If your primary interop assembly references one or more dependent primary interop assemblies, be sure to distribute the dependent assemblies or direct the developer to the ___location where the dependent assemblies can be acquired. The Type Library Importer (Tlbimp.exe) does not provide a way to combine multiple assemblies within a single primary interop assembly.
As a convenience to developers, you can create a setup program that installs and registers one or more primary interop assemblies. For details on the registration process, see How to: Register Primary Interop Assemblies.
