I am using 3rd party controls in my asp.net project. These controls are supposed to be installed in the GAC but when I run gacutil -l I don't see them listed, but when i look at

C:\windows\assembly

The files are there. (I ran gacutil from this directory, if that makes a difference).

What is going on here?

+1  A: 

Are you certain that the gacutil -l isn't showing them, how are you reviewing the output? Generally that spits out alot, pipe it to a text file if you aren't already

gacutil -l > gac.txt

makes it tons easier to review/search

What third party controls are we talking about? Can you give a name?

I was eyeballing the list in the "dos" ouput. What dir does the file get put into?I am using infragistics controls.

too much to eyeball, trust me...the txt file should be in the directory you are running gacutil from..or you can add a path to it: gacutil -l > c:\temp\gac.txt

I know it is too much to eyeball. Was really getting a headache.Was running gacutil from gac directory and not getting output. I shut my laptop shut down in the meanwhile. Will try again when I get home. Thanks. Happy new year.

yeah, strongly named assembles are only allowed in that directory, so that would make sense, run it again with the path specified like I showed before and you should be ok

Thank you for your help! The 3rd party controls are in the gac.
