Hi,
I have added all my dlls in GAC with a strong key name.
This was working fine till date very well.
Now i wanted to remove these dlls from GAC. its giving me
error as -
"Pending references: SCHEME: <WINDOWS_INSTALLER> ID: <MSI>
DESCRIPTION : <Windows Installer>"

Am stuck up this point.
Please let me know what went wrong on my machine and whats
the solution for this.

Thanks in advance,
- Rishikesh

You probably made an installer for some application which installs some dll
into the assembly cache. After that the dll seems to be protected and cannot
be manually removed from the cache. You can however remove it from the cache
by uninstalling the application which you made an installer for.
