Installation & registering assembly in GAC

Hey guys,

I have a C# library that's almost finished that's about to go into testing... I need to make an installer for it that will register the assembly with the GAC and install the DLL on the end-user's machine. I have both Visual Studio Pro 2008 and Express 2012 (Complete); since I wanted to use C# 5.0 and .NET 4.5 I did development in VS 2012 Express, but I guess I'll be using 2008 Pro to create my installer project and make my MSI file.

Can someone give me a run-down of what I need to do? Are there any restrictions on where the DLL should go? How to go about GAC registration through the installer? Any of info that could be helpful? Thanks!

Regards,
