Just have a quick question about the GAC I created an assembly Awesome.DLL. Had it signed, then installed into the GAC: C:\MyApps\Awesome\Awesome\Awesome\bin\Release>sn -k Awesome.snk Microsoft (R) .NET Framework Strong Name Utility Version 4.0.30319.1 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. Key pair written to Awesome.snk C:\MyApps\Awesome\Awesome\Awesome\bin\Release>gacutil /i Awesome.dll Microsoft (R) .NET Global Assembly Cache Utility. Version 4.0.30319.1 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. Assembly successfully added to the cache C:\MyApps\Awesome\Awesome\Awesome\bin\Release>gacutil /l Awesome.dll Microsoft (R) .NET Global Assembly Cache Utility. Version 4.0.30319.1 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. The Global Assembly Cache contains the following assemblies: Number of items = 0 My problem: Awesome.DLL is not found in C:\Windows\Assembly or any of the sub folders. It is found, though in C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL\ I guess because of this, I am not able to see Awesome.DLL from Add Reference > .Net. Why does it not install to C:\Windows\Assembly\ ? How can i point to that location instead?
