Hi,

How do I copy an assembly out of the GAC.
Cant find it anywhere else on the box.

Thanks

use the command line to copy the file from (for an assembly called util, version 1.0.0.0, culture=neutral, publickeytoken=aabccddeeff11223344)

c:\<windir>\assemblies\gac\util\1.0.0.0__aabbccddeeff11223344\util.dll

Hi Donal,

I think Richard's suggestion is ok. The {sysdir}:\windows\assembly  GAC
folder is alerted via windows shell when we view it in  windows explorer. 
You can navigate into it via commandline and you'll find each assembly will
have serveral sub folders ( for different versions). 

In addition, you can also copy the content line of the certain assembly
when you view the
sysdir}:\windows\assembly folder  in explorer. The line copy out is
something like:

System.Data  Neutral  1.0.5000.0  b77a5c561934e089 
file:///F:/WINDOWS/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v1.1.4322/System.Data.dll

And the path is just the actual path of that assembly.

HOpe also helps. Thanks.
