dotConnect for Salesforce Marketing Cloud (former ExactTarget) is provided as a single setup package that contains all required files for Full .NET Framework and documentation.

By default dotConnect for Salesforce Marketing Cloud installs all files in "Program Files\Devart\dotConnect\ExactTarget" folder. The setup program also adds the necessary assemblies to the Global Assembly Cache by default. You can omit adding assemblies to GAC by selecting the Do not install assemblies in the GAC check box on the Additional Tasks installation wizard page. To install only *.dll files needed to run applications that use dotConnect for Salesforce Marketing Cloud, you can select "Minimal" install in the setup program.

Some files are shared by Devart data providers. These assemblies are copied to the "\Program Files\Common Files\Devart\dotConnect\5.00\Net2\" folder. If you have several Devart data providers, make sure they use same version of the Devart.Data.dll assembly.

There are some limitations in Express Editions of Visual Studio. Particularly, the automatic toolbox components registration and Server Explorer integration are not available. You can, however, install components into toolbox manually as described below. As an exclusion, Visual Web Developer supports Server Explorer integration features.
