dotnet sdk : How to deploy assemblies in GAC if .NET framework sdk is not installed.

Hi,

I have my client machine where .NET Framework SDK is not installed. I
have an assembly developed in .NET which has a client C++ EXE. I want
to deploy these files to the client machine.

I found somewhere that we can drag the assembly into
C:\windows\assembly to register it with GAC but for deployment, i can
not do that.

So, my question is can I get gacutil.exe file to be shipped with my
setup and use that to register my assembly to GAC on the client machine?

You need a setup project. Visual Studio is just one of many tools that will
build a setup. Gacutil is not redistributable. Setups know how to put
assemblies in the GAC, create shortcuts, Add/Remove Programs entries etc.
