Hi,

I am having some problem in removing an assembly from the GAC. I can not use "gacutil" because it might

not be present in all system(including the machine having .NET frame work).

I am using "System.EnterpriceServices.Internal.Publish" object to add and remove assembly.

Addition of assembly is fine but I can not remove it.
I am using this code to remove..

Publish pObj = new Publish();
pObj.GacRemove("myassemblypath");

Am I missing some steps??
What should I do??
Any suggestion is welcome...

Solution 1

to remove the assembly - use full path with the file name
pobj.GacRemove("AssemblyPath");

Moreover make sure, your assembly should be signed using:
sn.exe -k assemblyname //either it is .dll or .exe
