Installing shared assembly into the GAC

Dan
Hi

when installing a shared assembly into the GAC, do I have to check whether
the GAC already have the assembly with the same strong
name(name,versi on,publickeytok en and culture) before installing it using
gacutil.exe? when there is another copy already installed do I need to take
special steps to quit the installation process.

Is this check necessary? or the gacutil.exe or the GAC will handle this
scenario automatically and will not install multiple copies of the same
assembly (with the same string name)?

regards

Hi Dan,

IMO GAC will handle it since there can't be two identical assemblies
registered.

I have read everything I can find, I think, and I am still having problems getting assemblies I installed to the GAC to show up when I try to reference them in an application. I first assigned a Strong Name, to the Assembly and then installed it to the GAC. Everything was successful, except for when I go to add a reference. I cannot see the Assembly(dll) under the .NET or the COM tabs. What am I missing that will alow me to deploy my...

I created a shared assemble and dropped it into Windows\assembly. Browsing this directory shows that it is in there and the properties looks as expected. However, when I attempt to add this as a reference in the IDE, the name is not showing. Am I missing something?

I used the pre-build and post-build events to automate GAC installation processes and the asp.net application has "copy to local" set to false for the references of these shared assemblies. However, every time we made the changes to the shared assemblies, we had to restart...

I have a small Windows Service program that just has a timer on it and it built fine. I try to install it using InstallUtil and I get the following message: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The account name is invalid or does not exist, or the password is invalid for the account name specified I am in the same folder my program is in (MyService.exe). I assume it has to do with Logon Credentials.

Hello! In directory c:\window\assembly(GAC) can you find a lot of global assembly names which is called shared assemblies.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
