What is an assembly folder? Do you mean Bin folder? What about Xcopy?

You can try to remote to your server and copy&paste the compiled dll to specific folder that you want.

Hi,

Try the gacutil.exe tool: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/tools/gacutil-exe-gac-tool or https://www.andrewcbancroft.com/2015/12/16/using-powershell-to-install-a-dll-into-the-gac/

According to the documentation link  I posted earlier it would be gacutil /l <assemblyName> to list what you have installed (if I remember you can use wildcards) and /u for uninstalling. Could you please check the provided documentation.

Note that you can perfectly install multiple versions of the same assembly.

Edit: make sure also using the GAC is really your best option. You can reference a project or your own nuget feed and have the DLL being included as part of your application deployment.
