Hey,
I'v written a Class Library Application, and gave it a strong name,
And installed it in the Gac using - Gacutil /i <Assembly_Name>
Everything went well, but When I tried to deleted it from the GAC, I got an
error saying the assembly's in use by another program.
When I tried to unistall the Assembly using the - Gacutil /U
<Assembly_Name>, I got an error saying the Assembly name was not found
(?!!!)
I rebooted my machine, and before I even opened my IDE, I tried to delete
it/unistall it, and still the same results...
Any help would be welcomed!
Thanks ahead,

You wrote this class library... and are you using it in an application? If
so, what app are you calling it from? Is that app running?
Why did you install it in the GAC in the first place?

If I were you, I would look to see if your application or web site or web
service actually is running...

Also, why are you trying to hard to delete it? If you want to install
another one, just install over it.
