Hi. I'm having a problem where .NET does not let uninstall a component from
the GAC. Using the gacutil.exe /u doesn't do it, neither does using the
force option (/uf), nor forcing a re-install (/if) and then forcing
uninstall. Neither does deleting it from the Assembly Cache configuration
app. When using the GUI, it simply says 'There was an error removing
MyAssembly.dll'. When I use the command line it gives me this:

--------------------------------------------
C:\Lib>gacutil /u MyAssembly.dll

Microsoft (R) .NET Global Assembly Cache Utility.  Version 1.1.4322.573
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1998-2002. All rights reserved.

No assemblies found that match: MyAssembly.dll

Number of items uninstalled = 0
Number of failures = 0
--------------------------------------------

Even though the assembly does in fact exist in that folder (c:\lib).

Anybody have any ideas? I'm lost, I even did a complete search of the
registry and didn't find a reference to it, so I guess GAC doesn't use the
registry. Any help is much appreciated...

Thanks!

Andy
