How to view the Folder and Files in GAC?

Install:

gacutil -i "path_to_the_assembly"

View:

Open in Windows Explorer folder

  • .NET 1.0 – NET 3.5: c:\windows\assembly (%systemroot%\assembly)
  • .NET 4.x: %windir%\Microsoft.NET\assembly

OR gacutil –l

When you are going to install an assembly you have to specify where gacutil can find it, so you have to provide a full path as well. But when an assembly already is in GAC – gacutil know a folder path so it just need an assembly name.
