I want to run a post build script that installs the dll in the gac, but i have to use the full path to gacutil.exe, where can i find this? i have visual studio 2008 The answer is C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin\gacutil.exe Open the Visual Studio command prompt (Start -> Programs -> Visual Studio -> Visual Studio Tools -> Visual Studio Command Prompt).

I've been searching for a while trying to understand this better, but am not finding any straight-forward answers on this. I have a component that I need to add to the GAC. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit, and in an effort to troubleshoot an issue (SSIS 2005 isn't recognizing the DLL), I'm trying to make sure I have the DLL (.NET 4.0) registered in the proper GAC. So here are my questions: Where are the physical locations in Windows 7 for both 64bit and 32bit GACs? I know of C:\Windows\assembly, but not sure which one this is, and where the other one is. Which version of gacutil do I use to add

i've made an assembly in the .net framework that I intend to publish to the GAC but I can't find the gacutil utlity. I've been googling a while and I've found a lot of suggestions, but nothing works: Copy the assemby to %window%\assemby [DOES NOT WORK] Copy the assemby to %window%\Microsoft.NET\assembly [DOES NOT WORK] C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bin\gacutil.exe /i "assembly" [returns an error: this assembly is built by a runtime newer than the currently loaded runtime and cannot be loaded] Does anyone have idea to solve this?

I am unable to uninstall an Assembly (log4net.dll) from GAC. It is giving following error. "Assembly is required by one or more applications". However if I search the Assembly using ProcessExplorer nothing comes up? How can I remove this Assembly from GAC? Pieter Germishuys Have you considered reading this KB article and trying it out?

I'm running GacUtil.exe from within Visual Studio Command Prompt 2010 to register a dll (CatalogPromotion.dll) to the GAC. After running the utility, it says Assembly Successfully added to the cache , and running gacutil /l CatalogPromotionDll shows that the GAC contains the assembly, but I can't see the assembly when I navigate to C:\WINDOWS\assembly from Windows Explorer. Why can't I see the assembly in WINDOWS\assembly from Windows Explorer but I can see it using gacutil.exe? Background: Here's what I typed into the command prompt for VS Tools: C:\_Dev Projects\VS Projects\bmccormack

This sounds related to this question , but they aren't the same thing. That question had no assemblies showing up. Mine has everything except the specific one I installed. I'm hoping someone has a solution to this... am I doing something wrong? Or did I find some bug in VS? I am using Visual Studio 2010 Professional Beta 2 on Windows 7 Ultimate. I just downloaded Rhino Mocks and decided to install it into the GAC using the command-line utility GACUTIL. I then rebooted. Here you can see the assembly in my GAC (click to enlarge): And here is the list of assemblies available to me in Visual

I am using Windows 7 Enterprise 32 bit. I have used Windows command line, and also used VSTS 2008 command line, but when executing gacutil.exe, there is command not found error. I am wondering whether I need to install gacutil.exe from somewhere or gacutil.exe is located in somewhere else in my computer (I searched my computer, but find several files called gacutil.exe, I do not know which one should be used)? BTW: I am using .Net 3.5. Andrey gacutil comes with Visual Studio, not with VSTS. It is part of Windows SDK and can be download separately at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details
