Hi,

Is it possible to have the GAC installed on a different drive than the
system drive, so not installed on c:\winnt\assembly.

This question because I work on a PC where I don't have any rights to
write/install anything on the system drive.

Thnx

Chris

I don't think so, no.

You can move the GAC by creating the following Registry entry and set
the path you want as its value

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Fusion\CacheLocation

If Chris does not have right to access anything on system drive, I don't
think Chris can change that reg key.

Basically, you have to be admin to make this change. But if you are admin,
you probably don't need to make this change.
