GAC Question - .NET Framework

Hagay Lupesko

Hi,

Case of two applications adding the same strong name assembly to the GAC,
and one application removes the assembly from the GAC while uninstalling,
will the other application still have the assembly in the GAC?

Thanks, Hagay.

Hi,

To the best of my knowledge, the GAC can maintain reference counting for an
assembly and prevent its removal until at least one reference to the
assembly exists. Therefore, provided that the installers for both
applications are well-behaved ones, the assembly will not be removed from
the GAC until the other appplication is uninstalled.
