NAntContrib Help Task Reference <gac-uninstall> | v0.85-rc1 |
[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]
Uninstalls assemblies from the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) by using the gacutil
SDK tool.
Assemblies are specified via an AssemblySet. Individual assemblies are specified by their identity information. Only a name is required but, optionally, the assembly version, culture and public key token may be specified.
Assemblies can be uninstalled from the GAC with or without reference counting. The full details of reference counting can be found in the SDK documentation.
