registering a dll in GAC

Question

I need to add an dll to GAC on Windows 2003 server. The server doesn't have Visual Studio installed. I didnt find Gacutil.exe in Windows 2003 Server. Where can I find Gacutil in Windows 2003 Server. Is there any other way I can add a dll to GAC . Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance,

Answer 1

You cannot call gacutil. There are some fusion APIs you can P/Invoke.

While you can't (re: shouldn't) use GACUtil.exe, there are 2 other ways, outlined in the following link from msdn:

What you're looking for is probably Mscorcfg.msc , but is only good for Framework version 3.5 and earlier
