We have developed application based on XMS. Just copying the IBM.XMS.Dll doesn't work? Do i have to install the XMS client on user machine. Since .NET support xcopy deployment, there should be a way to copy dependent dlls. I looked at assembly manifest of IBM.XMS.dll. There are no dependent dlls. My questions is what is the best way to distribute the XMS.
Thanks

Does anything in the instructions or documentation with XMS tell you that you can just copy IBM.XMS.DLL?
In fact, no there isn't anything that says that.
The documentation is fairly explicit that the way to install the XMS client for .NET is to run the installer.
On top of that, the documentation also lists some other prerequisites!
| Quote: |
The following prerequisites apply to setting up the messaging server environment: - For applications that connect to a WebSphere MQ queue manager, the WebSphere MQ client (or queue manager for bindings mode) is required.
- For applications that connect to a WebSphere service integration bus, Web Services Client for C++ must be installed if require administered objects lookup, and also if you are using the web service available with some servers based on WebSphere service integration technologies.
There are currently no prerequisites for applications that use a real-time connection to a broker. |

Also, this is not a Java/JMS question.

| Since I donot see any separate forum XMS and XMS is a kinda of JMS, I posted in this forum. Coming back to my original question, If you are from .net world you would know that any .Net dll should be xcopy deployable or atleast a merge module should be available so that can be included with my setup program instead of launching two separate setup programs |

Yes, but coming from an MQ world, you would know that the MQ client is never directly copyable, and always has to be seperately installed.
On the third hand, the XMS doc does claim that the XMS.NET interface is fully managed, so maybe it's possible to move the IBM.XMS.DLL. Maybe when you tried it, you didn't do something else necessary, like register it properly with gacutil or some such, or have an MQ client/server install.
On the fourth hand, even if you can include the XMS DLL with your application installer, that doesn't mean you are licensed to do so for anything other than internal use.

As Jeff pointed out, I don't think you are licensed to package XMS .NET within your setup, beyond your internal use. Furthermore, XMS .NET is currently a Cat 2 SupportPac, and is provided as-is without any formal service support from IBM. No offence please, but this does sound like an overall bad idea.
From a technical perspective, I think your assumption about 'no dependent DLLs' is incorrect. XMS .NET consists of several DLLs. The application programmer only needs to statically compile against a single one though, which is IBM.XMS.dll.
More further information, please see the readme file:
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/software/integration/support/supportpacs/individual/ia9h.readme.txt
And a rather comprehensive manual, for details:
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/software/integration/support/supportpacs/individual/ia9h.pdf
