Q. How to install .Net Assembly in Global Assembly cache on Server side? Why ‘Assembly Cache’ folder always exists in the File Manager?

The files associated with the ‘Assembly Cache’ folder in File Manager are automatically installed in the Global Assembly Cache on the target environment. Only .NET Strong name assembly can be added in the GAC folder and a error is reported on compilation if a unsigned Assembly is found to be mapped to GAC folder.

You may also use the Custom File Action templates ‘Install Assembly in GAC’ & ‘Un-install Assembly from GAC’ to install or uninstall .NET assemblies in the GAC folder. Because GAC is a special folder, therefore you should set the deployment instruction to ‘Copy file if not exist on Target environment’ for such files so that an existing file is not replaced on target environment until it’s uninstalled first. You may create both actions, Uninstall & then Install for such files.
