Need debug info for GAC *.dlls

Our application is launched by an application that needs our *.dlls located
in the GAC. How do I put *.pdb files in the GAC so we can debug during
development?

What is the recomended way to debug with Visual Studio 2005 when your *.dlls
are installed in the GAC?

Hi,

You can disable the assembly cache viewer in Windows Explorer with a
registry change. Set HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion\DisableCacheViewer
[DWORD] to 1.

You will then be able to access the GAC's true folder structure and drop in
your PDBs next to the DLLs.
