I've got Windows 10 Pro 64 bit, Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 and the full Windows 10 SDK package but I'm not able to find gacutil.exe in:
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 subdirectories
- Windows 10 SDK subdirectories
- C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET subdirectories
- C:\Windows\System32
- C:\Windows\SysWOW64
- C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies subdirectories
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies subdirectories
Don't come tell me it's a duplicate, please. The other answers don't actually answer my question.
Any idea? Thanks in advance!
I had to use the Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Developer Command Prompt.
Unfortunately, Microsoft KB's are outdated and they usually give the wrong answers.
Go to Start -> Visual Studio 2015 -> Developer Command Prompt for VS2015
If you want find gacutil location then Follow this:
- Go to Start menu.
- A-search and find Developer Command Prompt
or
B-find and open Visual Studio 201_(2,3,5,7) Folder
click Developer Command Prompt for vs201(2,3,5,7)
Type and enter:( where gacutil )
"Developer Command Prompt" will be return location of gacutil.exe
But if you want cache dll , location of gacutil not necessary, Just run "Developer Command Prompt" and type : gacutil /i "dll_path"
In Windows 10, gacutil.exe
is located here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\bin\NETFX 4.6.1 Tools\gacutil.exe
Note that the Framework directory NETFX <version> Tools
, can be different; if you don't have 4.6.1 installed, you will have another version installed instead.
To find out where any EXE in your PATH is coming from, you can use the where
utility:
Syntax: where <executable.exe>
