Replication deployment model

How to package the correct set of necessary assemblies along with the client
to ensure that the software can function correctly while deploying
replication implementation along with software.
Is MS planning to provide a merge module or similar for the replication
featureset?
what is the recommended deployment model for stand-alone clients which are
replicating(Merge Replication) between a local and remote server where the
local doesn't include an install of the SQL management tools? (It will have
express.)
Abhi,
you can use RMO to create a pull subscription. To synchronize, you can also
use RMO or Windows Synchronization Manager or invoking the agent executable
files from the command prompt with a supplied set of parameters.
