how to uninstall an assembly from GAC

[GD]

Hi,

I tried to use the following code (C#) to uninstall an assembly from GAC:
Process.Start("cgacutil.exe", "-u " + " \\Windows\\myAssembly.dll);

However, nothing happens. It doesn't event throw any exception.

Can somebody point out what is wrong with the syntax please?

Thanks.

Should be more like this:



/u myDll,Version=1.1.0.0,Culture=en,PublicKeyToken=874e23ab874e23ab



Also please check process exit code, would be none-zero if error.

How can I tell the info from the file name? Such as

GAC_System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid_v1_0_5000_0_cneutral_1.dll

Especially PublicKeyToken...

Thanks

From the filename you can't. It's in the registry.

Found an easy way: deleting the GAC list file(such as myApp.gac in my case)
under Windows directory uninstalls all the assemeblies listed in the file.

Thanks.
