Hi,

Is it possible to have the GAC installed on a different drive other 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

Hi Chris,

AFAIK no.
GAC is local to computer.

It might be interesting to know why you need to install something into the GAC.
It's often convenient to use the GAC, but not always a necessity.
