How to install or uninstall dll in GAC using powershell

Good one sir

good

In windows 2012 server we can found it under c:windows\Microsoft .Net framework \v1.1.4322

Some times you dont have gacutil installed on target system. you could use this code: BEGIN { Clear-Host $ErrorActionPreference = "Stop" if ( $null -eq ([AppDomain]::CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies() |? { $_.FullName -eq "System.EnterpriseServices, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" }) ) { [System.Reflection.Assembly]::Load("System.EnterpriseServices, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a") | Out-Null } $publish = New-Object System.EnterpriseServices.Internal.Publish } PROCESS { $files=get-childitem ".\Source Dependencies" *.dll -rec|where-object {!($_.psiscontainer)} foreach( $file in $files ) { $assembly = $file.fullname if ( -not (Test-Path $assembly -type Leaf) ) { throw "The assembly '$assembly' does not exist." } if ( [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile( $assembly ).GetName().GetPublicKey().Length -eq 0 ) { throw "The assembly '$assembly' must be strongly signed." } Write-Output "Installing: $assembly" $publish.GacInstall( $assembly ) } } #(c) http://codeimpossible.com/2010/7/21/Installing-Assemblies-to-GAC-with-PowerShell

Hi Vijai, Often in PRODUCTION environments, you won't have GACUtil installed and you probably do not want GACUtil installed. In that case you need to drag and drop the dll in GAC. But in Windows 2008, you have to disable UAC which needs a restart. How do you get around this problem? Thanks Soumya
