Hello, I want to remove an Assembly from the GAC, but gacutil.exe tells me it's impossible. I got the error message: [[[ Assembly: WebAppTest, Version=1.0.1300.17306, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a162ba99c4ce8766, Custom=null Unable to uninstall: assembly
is required by one or more applications Pending references: SCHEME: ID: DESCRIPTION : ]]] I tried gacutil /u WebAppTest gacutil /ul WebAppTest gacutil /uf WebAppTest I just developed a small Assembly test and put it in the cache. I do not know why WINDOWS_INSTALLER
needs my assembly. I never created the deployement of this assembly by program. I put this assembly into the GAC, manually. Thank you for your help.
It is the same thing, from the file explorer, i cannot delete the assembly because it is linked with another application. Is there a way to break the dependance ?
Dasley From past experience no - not what you wanted to here I know but we have had problems with this before. We ended up having to rename the assembly in the gac which wasnt good. We spoke to 2 Microsoft guys and they said dont use the gac if dont have to.
In other words welcome to gac hell instead of dll hell. Cheers Gregor
