Atlanta .NET Regular Guys : Copy an assembly from the GAC

Copy an assembly from the GAC

TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK

I just got a call from a friend of mine asking how to copy a file from the GAC. I quickly told him and then asked around to see if it would be good for a blog post.

So here it goes, it is pretty straightforward.

Open up DOS Start->Run “cmd”

Change to the assembly folder CD C:\windows\assembly

It will probably look something like this.

Cmd-gac

Now CD into the GAC folder and then finally CD into the Namespace of your assembly. There will be a folder with the assemblies version and key, CD into that directory and copy out the dll.

Cmd-gac2

That is all there is to it, if anyone knows more about the structure feel free to fill in the gaps.
