hi before install your assembly in GAC your assembly must have storng name. Turn off verification for the assembly if you're storing the assembly in the GAC. By default the GAC verifies the strong name of each assembly. If the assembly is not signed by using the private key this verification fails. So for development and testing purposes you can relax this verification for an assembly by issuing the following command: sn.exe -Vr MyFile.dll When you're ready to deploy a delay-signed assembly you need to sign it with your private key: sn.exe -R MyFile.dll MyKeyFile.snk Finally you can instruct the GAC to resume verification for an assembly by issuing the following command: sn.exe -Vu MyFile.dll In order to share a .NET assembly with multiple applications installed on the same machine it needs to be installed as Shared Assembly in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC). gacutil /i MyFile.dll hope this help.
