Replacement for gacutil?

[Siegfried Heintze]

I have never used gacutil before and I was having trouble making my newly
compiled program run in various directories.

The solution was to

c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET/Framework/v1.1.4322/gacutil.exe /i
...\..\XInclude.NET-1.2\bin\XInclude.dll

Yahoo! -- this solved the problem and now I could run my little xslt program
anywhere. It is not often something works on the first try!

But I just installed framework.net 3.5! Why should not the gacutil.exe be in
this directory?

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5

Is gacutil out of date and there is some new utility I should be using?

Thanks,
Siegfried

gacutil is part of .NET Framework SDK, not .NET Framework itself. Microsoft
expects you to deploy the applications by copying or by using the installer.
And the installer should be able to install the modules to GAC.
You can write your own replacement for gacutil by using fusion dll (do
google search for it).
