!!! Important
Please keep in mind the alpha stage of the project. Do use it for evaluation and feedback purposes only. Usage in production environments is completely at the end-user's own risk.

!!! Installation instructions
* To use LINQ to SharePoint, you'll just need to download the installer *runtime binary*. It will install the required components and reconfigure Visual Studio 2008.
* If you want to see how LINQ to SharePoint works, download the *source code*. This will require the [url:Visual Studio 2008 SDK|http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=30402623-93ca-479a-867c-04dc45164f5b&DisplayLang=en].

!!! Release note
Several users have reported issues with components missing in the GAC after the installation. This issue only affects integration with Visual Studio 2008. We'll fix this issue in a subsequent release, the current workaround is to GAC these assemblies manually. The instructions are outlined below; we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience even though this is an alpha release:
* Start a Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt (on Vista, make sure you Run as Administrator)
* Enter "cd %programfiles%\BdsSoft Linq to SharePoint"
* Execute the following commands:
** gacutil -i BdsSoft.SharePoint.Linq.dll
** gacutil -i BdsSoft.SharePoint.Linq.ObjectModelProvider.dll
** gacutil -i BdsSoft.SharePoint.Linq.Tools.Spml.dll
** gacutil -i BdsSoft.SharePoint.Linq.Tools.EntityGenerator.dll
