How to install System.Management.dll into GAC Where gacutil is missing

Apr 10 2021 7:18 AM

How to install/add System.Management.dll into GAC where gacutil.exe is not available at the host server. Manual copy paste is not working.

Problem Description

I have a C#.NET 3.5 application where I am using System.Management namespace to read USB Serial Device. Following code is working fine at development machine but when we deploy this exe on the server where System.Management.dll is available into target framework directory but it is missing at GAC location (file:///C:/windows/assembly/GAC_MSIL/System.Management/2.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a/System.Management.dll ).
