Question

Whats is the difference between regsvr32 and GAC?

Of course regsvr32 is for COM and GAC is for .net assemblies but is that the only difference?

not only, the're organized differently too :D – unkulunkulu Jul 31 '11 at 15:58 — unkulunkulu, Jul 31 '11 at 15:58

regsvr32 is a program which is used to self-register dlls.

The GAC is a versioned store for .Net assemblies.

They're not really comparable.
