Hi Maxwell,
If Browse can't display the assemblies in GAC correctly, it is possible
that the issue is caused by the fact that the shfusion.dll extension didn't
register properly. So the shell extension didn't execute properly. If this
happens on your system, open a command prompt and enter the following from
the c:\winnt\Microsoft.net\framework\vXXX folder, where XXX represents the
version number of the .NET Framework that you're running. Search for the
shfusion.dll file, and use that folder. Here I've used the folder
representing my current .NET build:
c:\winnt\microsoft.net\framework\v1.0.3705>regsvr3 2 shfusion.dl
I hope the above information is helpful for you. Have a nice day!

I am sot sure Browse is proper way to deal with assemblies in GAC. AFAIK,
browse is for DLLs within folders other than GAC.

a button on the dialog for adding references labled "Browse" Clicking this
will open the standard file open navigation dialog and you can just pluck
your assembly from any location that's accessable and after selecting
it, it
will be added to the References section of your project and be available
to
your project (can be a little tricky sometimes getting namespaces
recognized,
but, basically it's "IT JUST WORKS" type technology ( pretty
transparent)).
In other words, dealing with the GAC directly is not a necessary thing
if all
you want is to add References to a project. On the other hand, If your
real
goal is to get the assembly installed properly in the GAC and listed in
the
.NET category of the Add ref dialog, sorry, of those areas I don't think
my
experience is sufficient to advise.
