    How to add a DLL to the GAC?

    I have 2 DLL's (which is not mine). One is from version1 and other is version2. I installed DLL 1 and everything went alright. It installed it also in the GAC. Now I tried replacing version2 with version1 but it just acts like I was using version1 DLL. I know this has something to do with the GAC. What have I to do? Do I really have to use the GAC? I tried deleting it but it doesnt allow I dont know why..

    I also tried to add the new DLL to the GAC but it says it's not a strong assembly (but i've tried doing "sn -v dllname.dll" and it said it was a valid assembly)

    Any help is greatly appreciated

    You can access the GAC by Start/settings/control panel/ admin tools/ 1.1 configuration - assembly cache link.

    Are you using auto-deployment - because there is a separate cache for those dlls that you may need to clear.

    hmm solved it.

    The problem was the DLL already had a key assigned to it in code and then when i tried to give it another he wouldn't know what to choose. Anyways here's how i compiled it:

    Code:
    sn -k "key.snk"
ilasm "my_il_file.il" /DLL /KEY="key.snk"
