How can we use the new beta version of the ASP.Net Ajax

Hi
Microsoft has released their new ASP.NET AJAX Beta release. With this version the Micorsoft.web.ajax.dll is installed in the GAC. So that means we do not have to keep the dll in the Bin folder. But this is a real big problem for people like me who use shared hosting. The hosting provider may not be kind enough to install this version on the server. Which means that I cannot upgrade and use this version.
Why did not Microsoft provide us with the dll. Putting the assembly in the GAC is a good thing but it can be a problem for many. They should have allowed people to have the option to run the assembly from the bin folder also
Thanks
Vikram
P.S. If some one knows any hack for this please tell me.

The beta release does provide a copy of the dll in the installation directory. You can access it through the start menu shortcut added by the beta setup: Start Menu->All Programs->Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions->ASP.NET AJAX Extensions Assembly and Script Library.

Hi Vikram,
I use the beta dll's without having them installed in the GAC:
- install ASP.NET Ajax
- get the dll's from c:\program files\... en copy them into your bin folder
- de-install ASP.NET Ajax
