# Gac Tool

Gac tool is a dotnet tool for installing and uninstalling .NET Framework assemblies to the GAC (Global Assembly Cache)

## Installation

```shell

dotnet tool update -g gactool

```

## Usage

The tool require elevated permissions so an UAC prompt may appear if the tool is not being executed in an Administrator context already.

### Assembly install

```shell

dotnet gac install 

```

### Assembly uninstall

```shell

dotnet gac uninstall 

```

## Troubleshooting

If a message like this appears when running `dotnet gac`

```shell

System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (740): An error occurred trying to start process 'C:\Users\Usuario\.dotnet\tools\dotnet-gac.exe' with working directory 'C:\temp\GacTool\artifacts'. The requested operation requires elevation.
