Is there a simple way to in PowerShell (I imagine using gacutil.exe) to read from a text document a path\assembly and register it in the GAC? So for example a .txt file that looks like:

c:\test\myfile.dll c:\myfile2.dll d:\gac\gacthisfile.dll

The PowerShell script would read that into a stream and then run gacutil on each of those assemblies found? I guess it would be something like:

#read files into array?  foreach ($file in Get-ChildItem -Filter '*.dll' ) {    Write-Host $file.Name   C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\gacutil.exe /nologo /i $file.Name }

  1. If you sort out your text file such that the each dll is on a separate line, you could use the Get-Content command and pipe each to a filter that did your command:

    filter gac-item { C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\gacutil.exe /nologo /i $_}  get-content fileOfDlls.txt | ?{$_ -like '*.dll'} | gac-item
