Hi Matt,
I think the ClassLibrary that was added to the GAC is also a file in the
disk. So if you can delete the file in the disk, you can also remove it
from the GAC.[a directory]
If you don't want the ClassLibrary removed, you may need to forbide the the
ClassLibrary file from being deleted.
Did I answer your question?
