gacutil postbuild event exists with code 1

Question

I am trying to register and assembly in the GAC on a post-build event. Here\'s my post-build command

\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft SDKs\\Windows\\v7.0A\\Bin\

Answer 1

I had the same problem, I was able to fix it by:

1. Finding and stopping any other processes that had a handle open on the dll using Process Explorer
2. Uninstalling the assembly with "gacutil /u AssemblyName"
3. Increasing the Assembly Version Number in Project Properties -> Assembly information

After these steps my post build step started working again.
