Gacutil.exe and .NET framework 3.0 or 3.5

Sun, 10 Feb 2008 18:53:54 Z

Hello,

in order to see the list of .NET assemblies installed inside the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) I used the Gacutil.exe utility that was installed by both Visual Studio 2003 and 2005. With Visual Studio 2008 this utility doesn't seem to be installed so the question is "How to list .NET assemblies with Visual Studio 2008 ?"

Thanks in advance and Kind Regards

Unfortunately your answer is completely unrelated to my question

sorry my bad i thought you were in some confusion about usage of gacutil.exe

look at this

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ex0ss12c.aspx

this tells about how to use utility in 3.5 framework so i guess that there must be some way to use it

so visual studio 2008 don't have seperate gacutil.exe for use

*i was just thinking what if you use gacutil from earlier version ??

Thanks a lot, this was exactly what I was searching for: the gacutil.exe utility for version 3.5 of the .NET framework is now under a completely different path: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin

It would be interesting to know the reason why, at Microsoft, they don't maintain a standard for placing their own tools from one release to the other .

Kind Regards

Good question! The general question is: With Visual Studio 2008 where does one find tools such as gacutil.exe, ildasm.exe, tlbimp.exe, etc.?
