  Are the "multiple copies" in different framework version folders?

  Run 'gacutil /l' and check out the version string at the top to verify the version of .NET each gacutil is running against. Since you have VS.NET 2003 installed, the version in that directory could be running against .NET 1.1. If you are developing on that platform, you should use that.

  The thing that confuses me is, why is there a copy under FrameWork 1.0 and not under 1.1 Thanks

  I'm by no means an expert; this is just a guess. But perhaps you installed the 1.0 SDK before installing VS.NET, which lead to two copies of gacutil. The upgrade to 2003/.NET 1.1 did not include a separate SDK install, so it put everything in VS.NET's bin directory. If you need gacutil in the Framework directory, you could probably just copy gacutil.exe and gacutil.exe.config over to C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322.
