Hi,

Is it possbile to install the assembly in GAC without signing it and
creating the strong name?

If i direclty register an assembly using gacutil /i <assembly>, it give

me an error saying cannot install the assembly as it is not given a
strong name. attempting to install with no strong name.

Evetually it doesn't install.

Pls let me know.

No, you must apply a strong name to install an assembly in the GAC. Is
there some particular reason you did not want to apply a strong name?
