I am able to use GACUTIL.EXE directly; however, I installed the SDK first, prior to VS 2005, so my path is:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft.NET\SDK\v2.0\Bin When I updated by Path environment variable, I used the variable information contained the SDK batch files. I believe that while the paths are different in the VS 2005 batch files, the concept is the same. Hope this helps! Christopher Reed Web Applications Supervisor Information Technology City of Lubbock [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The oxen are slow, but the earth is patient." >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 4:49 am 12/1/2005 >>> I have a .net 2.0 dll that will be used from several different applications. So I figured I should put the dll in the gac. I am using Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite release candidate for this project. First I typed gacutil /i MyDll.dll in the .net 2005 command prompt. It worked ok. Then I added the gacing as a post build step. Because I didnt have the directory of gacutil in my path I added the post build step like this: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin\gacutil.exe /i MyDll.dll It worked fine too. Then I added C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin to my path, and changed the post build step to: gacutil /i MyDll.dll When I tried to build I got the error code 9009. I have tried to google for gacutil 9009 and found others with the same problem, but no one has a solution. Is this a gacutil bug or am I doing something wrong? Then I went back to using gacutil /i MyDll.dll from the 2005 command prompt, and manually gaced my dll successfully, because I wanted to use it from another solution. In the other solution, I went to "add reference..." on a project, and tried to find my MyDll in the .NET tab. But it is not there! Why? Where can I find it?
