I have a third party dll that I need to install to the GAC. The dll needs access to a ini file that according to the documentation needs to be in the same location as the dll. If I install the dll into the GAC, what location should I copy the ini file to in order for the dll to find the ini file?
Well you can hold your nose, and navigate to the directory within the side-by-side assembly structure in the GAC in which the file is located and put it there. It will be a path something like “C:\windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\System\2.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089”. Do “Start menu -> run -> c:\windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL” – this is enough to get you past the windows view on the directory structure. Or, you can navigate to it directly in the command shell.
