Question

I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate, trying to manually copy a file into the GAC. I tried using Windows Explorer but it promptly tells me "Access is denied". I tried using the command line with elevated permissions and it says the file was copied but I can't find the assembly anywhere.

I'm updating a third party spreadsheet component (GemBox) and the update process involves manually dropping the new version of the assembly into the GAC of the dev machine. Any suggestions?

Was it helpful?

Solution

You could try installing it using gacutil:

gacutil -I yourassembly.dll

OTHER TIPS

You can find gacutil in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\x64
