Hi gurus,

I have a solution with two projects. One of them is a Windows application an
the other is an instaler of it. The windows application uses a class libray
who is registered in the Global Assembly Cache. The problem raises when i
try unistall the class library from the Assembly Cache, the error says that
the library has a reference with an instaler program. I've removed it from
the solution and the problem persist... Is there any other thing that I'am
not doing..?

I would really appreciate your helping me....!

Thanx

Boris

Click to expand...

How are you trying to uninstall the class library from the GAC are you
using gacutil /u or just browsing to windows\assembly and deleting it?
You need to uninstall it by actually going to 'Add Remove' and
uninstalling the package which put it in the GAC.

I haven't yet found a way to yank an assembly using gacutil /r /u
which was installed by windows installer... ofcourse one would never
want to do that in production.

Thanks,
Maurice
