Hi
How would one go about removing a referenced assembly from the GAC if the
referencing app is the windows installer?
C:\>gacutil /u Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.ExceptionManagement
Microsoft (R) .NET Global Assembly Cache Utility. Version 1.1.4322.573
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1998-2002. All rights reserved.
Assembly: Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.ExceptionManagement,
Version=1.0.1453.1709
5, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=fe948a0bc7989604, Custom=null
Unable to uninstall: assembly is required by one or more applications
Pending references:
SCHEME: <WINDOWS_INSTALLER> ID: <MSI> DESCRIPTION : <Windows
Ins
taller>
Number of items uninstalled = 0
Number of failures = 0
Further info...
* the assembly was originally registered using gacutil /i, subsequently a
referencing deployment project was created, installed and uninstalled using
windows installer.
* there is a /uf switch which forces removal of referenced assemblies except
if the ref happens to be windows installer ;-(
regards
