Newbie question about reference and release folder

When building a .NET application, I have a release folder with some Interop files and other references. Is there a particular place I need to place these files. And if .NET framework is installed, will just these files work. I am a little confused about he GAC and whether to place the referenced files in the released folder there, System 32 or the application directory.

Thanks for any assistance.

I believe you can install assemblies into the GAC. That way all applications which require them will find them.
Other than that, I think you should try to replicate the output structure of your build as closely as possible in your setup.
