GAC question

[Hagay Lupesko]

Hi,

Case of two applications adding the same strong name assembly to the GAC,
and one application removes the assembly from the GAC while uninstalling,
will the other application still have the assembly in the GAC?

Thanks, Hagay.

They can use GAC ref counting. Check out the /r options in gacutil.

If you use MSI to install both the apps, it should be taken care of
automatically for you.
