I need gacutil

Hi,
When only the "runtime" (dotnetfx.exe, 20mb thing) is installed, I dont see
the gacutil any where which is installed with the framework sdk or vs.net. I
need it to register some of my comps to the gac. How do I do it ?
I dont wanna use installer for registering my components.

Regards n thanx.

The SDK and the runtime are 2 different install packages.

only the runtime is installed, NOT the sdk.

Why would you want a client to have gacutil? And if we're talking a
development machine, why not just install the SDK?

Hello Abubakar,
First off, it is not clear why you would need to install an assembly in the
GAC of a user's machine. I'm curious as to why you want to do this.
Secondly, the Microsoft Installer 2.0 tool will install assemblies in the
GAC if you need it to. You do not need to distribute gacutil.
Third, if you do not want to use and installer, and the client does not have
gacutil, you are out of luck. You are not allowed to ship gacutil with your
application.

According to the following link, if you must use the GAC, you have two
choices: installer or gacutil.

I hope this helps,

Just to add, he has a third option, cloning gacutil

hi
what do u mean by cloning. Refering to the link that u mentioned, do u mean
shfusion.dll ? Well as I discovered its not managed and its note even a com
component. Its just a windows shell extension dll. I cant use it in my
managed code (or atleast dont know how to!).

I was just wondering if when my app is deployed on the client site and one
of my shared assemblies there shows some bug signs which I update. To
replace just this one file I would create an installer or follow some other
method.

These links may get you started on implementing whatever gacutil
functionality you need:

You can also copy to %systemroot% msvcr71.dll, gacutil.exe and
gacutil.exe.config.
Then register msvcr71.dll and you can then Gacutil.
