How do I add a DLL to GAC

Question

This is my code:

Register(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly()).Location);

private void Register(String assemblyName)
{
    System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo processStartInfo = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo("D://gacutil.exe", string.Format("/i {0}", assemblyName));
    processStartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
    System.Diagnostics.Process process= System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(processStartInfo);
    process.WaitForExit();
}

How do I add the DLL to the assembly Folder?

Answer 1

You have to put the entire assembly path for this to work. For example

gacutil /i D:/someassembly

Rest of your code looks fine. Just use whole assembly path instead of just assembly name.

Answer 2

MSDN Publish.GacInstall

Use GacInstall() method in the Publish class to GAC the assembly easily. Add reference to System.EnterpriseServices . Please make sure particular dll is Signed . Only signed assembly can be added to GAC.

private void Register(String assemblyName)
  {
      Publish publish = new Publish();
      publish.GacInstall(assemblyName);
  }

Answer 3

您需要将process的工作目录设置为当前工作目录，或者发送.dll的完整路径。
