Visual Studio 2008 on Vista: run gacutil /i in post build event

Question

One of the post build event command in my C# project is
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin\gacutil.exe" /i $(TargetPath)

it would fail but another command of uninstall succeeds.
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin\gacutil.exe" /u $(TargetName)

I tried using command line with administrator permission to install the assembly and it worked.

I am using Vista Business. I disabled UAC on my computer.

Thanks a million,

Gene

Answer 1

I figured it out, so I just answer the question to myself:

This command would not work for me:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin\gacutil.exe" /i $(TargetPath)

But this would work for me:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin\gacutil.exe" /i "$(TargetPath)"

the target path folder on my computer is “D:\xxx xxx xxx\”, which has space - put quotation marks around the target path variable resolved my issue.
