Our problem, we use a third-party utility to create the installer for our web
controls, libraries, and applications. Question I have is how can we install
into the gac using this third-party installer w/o using gacutil since gacutil is
no longer available for the newer framework(s)?

This third-party installer is framework independant and therefore does not have
any internal ways of installing things into the GAC. BUT, it is quite impressive
for what it can do.

Above link is the link to the installer.

Thanks in advance :)
