Hi,

I am trying to load a dll into the GAC with C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\gacutil.exe /i c:\mydll.dll
I get the error Failure adding assembly to the cache: Unknown Error.
I have 5 folders/versions of Microsoft.NET but I only have gacutil.exe in the v1.1.4322 folder with gacutil.exe v1.1.4318

Why don't I have 5 gacutil.exe as you mentioned ?

What can I check ?

a+, =)

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 the Cassini DLL.

I went back and installed the Cassini files for Framework 2.0 and ran into the same error. I just loaded the Cassini.dll manually to cache and went on. I was able to bring up the server. We will see how it goes from there.

I copied the gacuitl application file and the gacuitl.exe XML configuration files from
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322
