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,version,publickeytoken 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.
