<gac-install>

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

Installs assemblies into the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) by using the gacutil SDK tool.

Assemblies can be installed to the GAC with or without reference counting. The full details of reference counting can be found in the SDK documentation.

Parameters

Attribute	Type	Description	Required
force	bool	If true, the specified assemblies will be forcibly installed. Any existing duplicate assemblies in the GAC will be overwritten. The default is false.	False
failonerror	bool	Determines if task failure stops the build, or is just reported. The default is true.	False
if	bool	If true then the task will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is true.	False
timeout	int	The maximum amount of time the application is allowed to execute, expressed in milliseconds. Defaults to no time-out.	False
unless	bool	Opposite of `if`. If false then the task will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is false.	False
verbose	bool	Determines whether the task should report detailed build log messages. The default is false.	False

Framework-configurable parameters

Attribute	Type	Description	Required
useruntimeengine	bool	Specifies whether the external program should be executed using a runtime engine, if configured. The default is false.	False

Nested Elements:

<assemblies>

Specifies the assemblies to install.

</assemblies>

<reference>

Specifies reference details to use when working with the GAC.

Used to specify reference information when working with the GAC.

The full details of GAC references can be found in the SDK documentation.

Parameters

Attribute	Type	Description	Required
if	bool	If `true` then the entity will be included. The default is `true`.	False
scheme-description	string	The scheme description to use when working with GAC references. This is only relevant if a scheme type other than `None` is specified.	False
scheme-id	string	The scheme ID to use when working with GAC references. This is only relevant if a scheme type other than `None` is specified.	False
scheme-type	SchemeType	The scheme type to use when working with GAC references. The default is `None`, which means that references will not be used by the GAC task.	False
unless	bool	Opposite of `if`. If `false` then the entity will be included. The default is `false`.	False

</reference>

<arg>

The command-line arguments for the external program.
