Copy a file in the GAC

[Gunner 1]

Hello,
In the context of a project, I must copy "/", install a dll in the GAC (Global Assembly Cache) Windows (located in C: \ Windows \ assembly). I tried with a simple renameTo method but it always returns me false. I want to copy a file in a GAC. Does anyone know if there is a specific method to do this?Thank you in advance!

Hello,
Try this code,

File fl = new File("file.dll");
File dt = new File(C:\\Windows\\assembly\\file.dll ");
dt.createNewFile();
FileInputStream fin = new FileInputStream(fl);
BufferedInputStream buff = new BufferedInputStream(fin);
FileOutputStream fouot = new FileOutputStream(dt);
BufferedOutputStream bos = new BufferedInputStream(fouot);
byte[] dt = new byte[2048];
int nbRead = 0;
try {
    while((nbRead = ca.read(dt)) != -1) {
        bos.write(dt, 0, NbRead);
        bos.flush();
    }
} catch(IOException ioe) {
    ioe.printStackTrace();
} finally {
    bos.close();
    ca.close();
    fouot.close();
    did.close();
}

Hi,
Thank you for the answer. So finally I went by a circuitous route, I install the DLL via gacutil-i myDll.dll and then I run my java program from the dll to use. By cons now I want a way to recover the publicKeyToken the DLL in question. I read the binary dll but (or rather) publicKeyToken that appear do not match Is there an API / method in Java to manage the GAC?

Hello,
Even I have a similar kind of problem, if you guys have any solution for this then please do post back. This is what i do.

SET assembly = WPSubscription
SET = web config.config

Registration echo%% assembly in the GAC ...
C:\ Program Files\ Microsoft Visual Studio 8\ SDK\ v2.0\ Bin\ gacutil " -i%% assembly.dll

echo.
echo Recording of data in data.txt...
C:\ Program Files\ Microsoft Visual Studio 8\ SDK\ v2.0\ Bin\ gacutil " / l% Assembly%> data.txt

echo.
echo Generation of assembly xml file%%.dll
C:\ Program Files\ Java\ jdk1.5.0_07\ bin\ java cp - "." %% WebPartDeployer assembly.dll % config%

Hello,
Try this the following code.

File fil = new File("file.dll");
File f2 = new File(C:\\Windows\\assembly\\file.dll ");
f2.createNewFile();
FileInputStream fin = new FileInputStream(fil);
BufferedInputStream buff = new BufferedInputStream(fin);
FileOutputStream fouot = new FileOutputStream(f2);
BufferedOutputStream bos = new BufferedInputStream(fouot);
byte[] f2 = new byte[2048];
int nbRead = 0;
try {
    while((nbRead = ca.read(f2)) != -1) {
        bos.write(f2, 0, NbRead);
        bos.filush();
    }
} catch(IOException ioe) {
    ioe.printStackTrace();
} finally {
    bos.close();
    ca.close();
    fouot.close();
    did.close();
}

Hello,
It is very hard to copy files for Global Assembly Cache, they are situated at C:\windows\ass.. If you want to see the properties of the assembly files then you just have to right click on the file and view the properties from there. But If I am not wrong then some times you do not have any other option that just copy pasting the file because you can not edit it and you do not really know what to do.
