gacutil error in .NET 2.0

The command:

gacutil /i C:\A10CSS\A10CSS\bin\Debug\OOALC.CSS.A10.A10CSS.dll

from a command window gives the following error since moving to Visual
Studio 2005:

"Failure adding assembly to the cache: Unknown Error"

I can drag the strong named dll to the GAC and and it is successfully
installed into the GAC.

Any Ideas why I get the error in .NET 2.0?

Have you checked the system logs? Unknown error isn't much to go on...

I went to Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Computer Management->System
Tools->Event Viewer and looked at the 3 logs. I didn't see any for the time I
generated the error. Am I looking in the right place?

Unfortunately, yes. The only other suggestion I have is to go to
blogs.msdn.com and look for entries of MS employees who work on low level
..NET stuff (like the CLR, debugging, etc). Find a couple and send them
emails on their blogs. You'll get a response in a couple days. I've found
that MS employees are pretty good about helping developers who have reached
the end of their ropes...

I found the answer on the internet:
Re: Failure adding assembly to the cache: Unknown Error
Each version of the .NET Framework has its own version of GACUTIL.exe which
must match the Framework version. And to keep things in line it should be the
same version of the Framework used to compile DLL.
The following line didn't work in the post build event command file.
gacutil /i "%2%5.dll"
The following line did work in the post build event command file.
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin\gacutil" /i
"%2%5.dll"
