Adding Gacutil to right click menu

Don't know whether this is trivial; but still I thought that it may
help someone
I change my projects so frequently that I can't update my setup scripts
every now and then. I've quite some files to push into GAC
so I decided to find a simpler of option of adding files to GAC
We can invoke gacutil easily on right click of dlls

Steps to be followed are
1. Open registry


2. Go to HKEY_CLASSSES_ROOT->dllfile


3. Create following hierarchy of folders(keys)
dllfile->shell->gacutil->comma­nd


4. Set default value for command to path of gacutil followed by /i "%1"
so it will look like this
D:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Frame­work\v1.1.4322\gacutil.exe /i "%1"


5. close the regedit

When u reopen win explorer u'll find an option called gacutil on right
click of dll files ; clicking that will send dll to GAC

Gravatar I'm tempted and after I say this you may suggest I not do it at all but expect I will anyway. But first tell me what's a GAC? 11/3/2005 1:32 PM | Chris Wisehart
