Using Windows Explorer to View the Global Assembly Catalog 

Jun 04, 2007 03:10 PM

When the Global Assembly Catalog (GAC) is viewed with Windows Explorer, only part of it is exposed, as most of it is hidden (protected) by the Operating System. How can Windows Explorer access these other areas?

Click to view.

Either create the following registry DWORD file and then merge it with your registry, or simply create the DWORD directly in your registry.

_________ Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Fusion] "DisableCacheViewer"=dword:00000001

Click to view.

To stop viewing these exposed areas, either delete the DWORD or simply change its value to 0.

__________ Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Fusion] "DisableCacheViewer"=dword:00000000

If you need to implement a new file that belongs in the GAC, or if you need to check a version of a file that is in the GAC, you will need to be able to access it.
Usually this is done via cmd line, however, GUI methods are far more user friendly.

Why would I want to view the GAC? Sorry if I'm missing something simple.
