问题
I have a DLL I wish to register with my GAC. I enter the command:
gacutil /i c:\temp\msvcr100.dll
and I get the error:
Failure adding assembly to the cache: The module was expected to contain an as sembly manifest.
All I have is the DLL. Is there a way to create / fake / bypass it?
For those interested, I am attempting to extract the Visual Studio 2010 & .NET 4.0 CTP from the VHD and run it on my physical box. As a side note, has this been attempted?
回答1:
Is this actually a GAC-able DLL? It doesn't seem like it. Maybe it's just reg-able? Why do you want to GAC it?

FYI - At this point there is a full ISO image of Beta 1 you can download and legally run on your desktop if you want.
VS 2010 beta 1 on MSDN
It is only for MSDN subscribers at this point though. Will be added to Microsoft downloads later.
EDIT: It is now open for all to download

I've experienced this with (apparently) corrupt dlls (I assume failed copies from USB drives).
回答4:
Are you sure that "extract[ing] the Visual Studio 2010 & .NET 4.0 CTP from the VHD" doesn't violate the license agreement? If Microsoft wanted you to "run it [VS2010] on my physical box", they would have just made it available as a noraml install.
回答5:
If you can create the manifest (I'm not sure what one should look like) it's easy enough to just load the DLL into Visual Studio's resource editor (File->Open->File->[select dll]->[click down chevron on the Open button]->Resource View) and just add the manifest to the dll.

I suppose the same process is done when you drag and drop to C:\Windows\assembly?
