Aspose.Chart could be deployed on your machine in two ways: using full MSI installer or just the single dll. Both of them are available for free download at the Aspose.Chart download page . The MSI installer, in addition to installing the component, performs the following tasks:

• Adds the assembly to the Add Reference dialog box in Visual Studio etc.
• Installs the demo projects that allow you to obtain "real" code samples.
• Installs the offline API documentation.
