I'm getting the following error trying to remove an assembly from the GA

Unable to uninstall: assembly is required by one or more application
Pending references
SCHEME: <WINDOWS_INSTALLER> ID: <MSI> DESCRIPTION : <Windows Installer

This assembly was previously installed by a .NET installer application, then I decide to remove the application but I did it by hand and not using the appropiate add/remove programs. What should I do to remove the assembly from the GAC? I was thinking to install the application again and then remove it correctly but I don't have access to the installer anymore

Thanks
 
I found a work around in another newsgroup

c:\WINNT\assembly\GAC>rd /s [assembly

It works!
