George,

When using the gacutil tool, it will move the assembly to an appropriate storage location (it's not something you manually have to do, or need to know for that matter).

Hello everyone,


I have used gacutil tool to install my COM dll into Global Assembly Cache,

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ex0ss12c(VS.80).aspx

But I am not sure whether I need to manually copy the actual assembly dll
into some directory (like Windows\System32? Windows?) after running this
tool? Or gacutil tool will automatically copy (install) the assembly for me
-- so I only need to run gacutil -i <dllname>?


thanks in advance,
George
