In answer to the question about why VS seems to be ignoring the environment path setting (to find gacutil):
Visual Studio .Net 2003 ignored the environment settings by default and I'm assuming VS 2005 does the same. You probably need to keep the path set in your post build step or launch VS with the /useenv command line switch Peter Partch ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ragnvald Barth" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, December 01, 2005 2:49 AM Subject: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] Gacutil problems 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?
