where are the mvc 2 files saved to?

Question

just installed asp.net mvc 2, where are the new .dll's?

Answer 1

Have you checked the Global Assembly Cache on your machine? (C:\WINDOWS\assembly or whatever your system root is)

Answer 2

I believe it's in the Global Assembly Cache and C:\Program Files\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET MVC 2\Assemblies or the equivalent on your machine.

But may I ask why you need it?

If you're trying to reference it in a Visual Studio project, you can add a reference to it the normal way; right-click on project, then add reference, search under .NET tab.

If you need to place it in the bin of a deployed project, you can set the property Copy Local of the System.Web.Mvc reference under the Reference folder under the project. This way, everytime you build/publish the project/solution, System.Web.Mvc will also be placed in the bin folder.
