Hello,
Can anyone tell me how long an assembly downloaded via a no-touch
application will remain in the assembly download cache? I realize I can
manually remove them via the "gacutil.exe /cdl" command, however, I'm
curious how long they'll stick around if they are never manually removed.
There are two reasons I am asking this:
1) Users with only the runtime version of the .NET Framework will not have
the "gacutil.exe" utility and therefore can't manually clear the cache.
2) As new versions of a downloaded assembly are made available, older
versions remain in the cache.
Any insight as to how long they will remain is greatly appreciated.
