Dear all, I have compile a C# dll and needs to add it into the GAC of my Windows Vista machine. I have permission denied error either using the gacutil or drag and drop into the c:\window\assembly folder. The following is configured. 1) UAC. 2) The machine is joined in the AD domain. 3) my user account is in the Administrators Group in my Domain. 4) Windows Vista Business SP1 My question what else do I need to do before I am allowed to install GAC into the machine. Thanks. Regards, Kueh.
Stating what might be obvious, but being an administrator on a UAC system doen't mean that you're always running with administrator rights. That's the point of UAC. So make sure you explicitly run gacutil as administrator or run Explorer as an administrator. -- Phil Wilson Definitive Guide to Windows Installer http://www.apress.com/book/view/1590592972 "KA Kueh" wrote in message news:eQRcPaPAJHA.4616@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > Dear all, > > I have compile a C# dll and needs to add it into the GAC of my Windows > Vista machine.

Hi, How do I deploy application across the organization (within a domain) when I need the administrator to run the gacutil? Thanks. Regards, Kueh.

I can't say for gacutil specifically, but why not just create an .msi installer that would deploy the assembly into GAC? That still needs administrative permissions, but a domain administrator should be able to do a domain-wide rollout remotely using the usual MSI tools and techniques.
Exactly. MSI setups can be installed in administrator mode for non-privileged users. -- Phil Wilson "Pavel Minaev" wrote in message news:4c022fcc-e9bc-43a4-a673-4bef5645b596@m45g2000hsb.googlegroups.com...
