Where to get Regasm and Gacutil? cjb11015-Feb-13 0:54 cjb110 15-Feb-13 0:54  I'm just writing some instructions for installing a .NET COM component. The first steps are to use regasm and gacutil, but these don't seem to be distributed with the actual framework, and you need to use a version that matches your .NET v or above (i.e. can't use a v2 regasm with a v4 dll). So I want to say where you can get a copy from, but what 'package' contains these to components? is it the .NET or Windows SDKs? Re: Where to get Regasm and Gacutil?

Look in the folders under C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET. GACUTIL is in the Windows/.NET SDK's, usually under a path similar to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.0A\bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools\x64. A simple search of your harddrive starting at the root of C: would have told you that.

So I was looking for the download(s) that I could point at, and it looks like the Windows SDK is the additional download required.
