Install dll into the gac + .net 4.0

Question

I want to add some .net 4.0 dlls to the gac, I know that the new gac is C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly

I cannot use the gacutil because visual studio in not installed on the deployment machine, and i cannot simply drag/drop the dll to the folder as i usually do in the previous versions.

How can I install the dlls to the GAC.

Answer 1

It is part of Windows SDK and can be download separately at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=6B6C21D2-2006-4AFA-9702-529FA782D63B. This installation will have gacutil.exe included. But first check it here: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin you might have it installed

where is gacutil.exe?

UPDATE : Modified the link. Windows SDK for .Net 4.0

Answer 2

Using Microsoft Installer Package. You can get download of installer from http://www.microsoft.com.

I am not confirmed but ideally Gacutil must be part of framework and you can find it out in .net framework folder
