Shared Assembly Not Accessible

I created a shared assembly, let's call it sh.dll, and put it in the
GAC, having done all the formality of generating a strong name and
installing it in the Crypto Service Provider (CSP).

I am trying to use it from a private client assembly using VS .NET
2003. When I open the Project->Add Reference dialog, I do not see the
name of my shared assembly there.

When I click the Browse button and on that dialog and navigate to the
shell extention of GAC under %windows%\assembly, I see my dll there. I
can select it and view its properties from the context menu. It appears
in the Open dialog, but when I select it from the list, the Open
button the Open dialog is disabled.

What am I missing?
