visual studio .net enterprise tools : Difference between gacutil & regsinks

The EIF document states :Add the event sink into the
Global Assembly Cache (GAC) using GacUtil.exe

The Logging Code block has us using regsinks.cmd in
logging/utilities.

These commands apparently add the dll to the GAC.

What is the difference? Why did the loggging block
include regsinks if gacutil works?

Thanks,
Tim Reynolds

Hi Tim,

Thank you for using MSDN Newsgroup. I am Luke and I am review this issue
currently. As I understand, you want to know the difference between gacutil
and regsinks.

In fact, regsinks.cmd is actually a command script file. You can open it
with Notepad and check it. It will execute some real execuable files (like
gacutil.exe) based on the command. It include necessary control logic which
is required by loggging block.

Hope this help,

Luke
