SU6 and The Global Assembly Cache (GAC)

[tgrandey]

Does SU6 have any support for installing assemblies into the Global Assembly Cache? I can't find any docs on how to implement this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Although I have never done it personally, you might want to look into a utility called Gacutil.exe.

You can read more about this utility here (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cptools/html/cpgrfGlobalAssemblyCacheUtilityGacutilexe.asp)

Perhaps you could run that application from Setup Factory and pass it the appropriate command line options.

Thanks for the reply.

According to what I have read about it, the gacutil is not redistributable as a single utility. It installs with the .Net SDK, not the framework redistributable.

Any other ideas???? I really like this installer, but this is a serious hang up for us.
