Gac Tool

Gac tool is a dotnet tool for installing and uninstalling .NET Framework assemblies to the GAC (Global Assembly Cache)

Installation

dotnet tool update -g gactool

Usage

The tool require elevated permissions so an UAC prompt may appear if the tool is not being executed in an Administrator context already.

Assembly install

dotnet gac install <assembly path>

Assembly uninstall

dotnet gac uninstall <assembly name>

Troubleshooting

If a message like this appears when running dotnet gac
