NAntContrib Help Task Reference <gac-uninstall> | v0.85 |
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.
Attribute | Type | Description | Required |
---|---|---|---|
force | bool | If true, the specified assemblies will be forcibly removed from the GAC. All references to the specified assemblies will be removed from the GAC prior to removing the assemblies themselves. The default is false. | False |
native | bool | If true, specifies that the assemblies should be uninstalled from the native image cache. 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 |
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 |
Represents a set of assemblies via their identity information.
Attribute | Type | Description | Required |
---|---|---|---|
id | string | The ID used to be referenced later. | False |
refid | string | The ID to use as the reference. | False |
Represents a single assembly in an AssemblySet.
Attribute | Type | Description | Required |
---|---|---|---|
name | string | The name of the assembly. | True |
culture | string | The culture for the assembly. | False |
if | bool | If true then the assembly will be included. The default is true . | False |
public-key-token | string | The public key token of the assembly. | False |
unless | bool | Opposite of if . If false then the assembly will be included. The default is false . | False |
version | string | The version of the assembly. | False |
Used to specify reference information when working with the GAC.
The full details of GAC references can be found in the SDK documentation.
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 |
Represents a command-line argument.
Attribute | Type | Description | Required |
---|---|---|---|
dir | directory | The value for a directory-based command-line argument; will be replaced with the absolute path of the directory. | False |
file | file | The name of a file as a single command-line argument; will be replaced with the absolute filename of the file. | False |
if | bool | Indicates if the argument should be passed to the external program. If true then the argument will be passed; otherwise, skipped. The default is true. | False |
line | string | List of command-line arguments; will be passed to the executable as is. | False |
path | <path> | The value for a PATH-like command-line argument; you can use : or ; as path separators and NAnt will convert it to the platform's local conventions, while resolving references to environment variables. | False |
unless | bool | Indicates if the argument should not be passed to the external program. If false then the argument will be passed; otherwise, skipped. The default is false. | False |
value | string | A single command-line argument; can contain space characters. | False |
A single command-line argument containing a space character.
<arg value="-l -a" />
Two separate command-line arguments.
<arg line="-l -a" />
A single command-line argument with the value \dir;\dir2;\dir3
on DOS-based systems and /dir:/dir2:/dir3
on Unix-like systems.
<arg path="/dir;/dir2:\dir3" />
Uninstalls Shared
assembly from the GAC.
<gac-uninstall> <assemblies> <assembly name="Shared" /> </assemblies> </gac-uninstall>
Uninstalls Shared
and MyWeb
from the GAC.
<gac-uninstall> <assemblies> <assembly name="Shared" /> <assembly name="MyWeb" /> </assemblies> </gac-uninstall>
Decrements references to Shared
in the GAC and uninstalls if the reference count reaches zero.
<gac-uninstall> <reference scheme-type="Opaque" scheme-id="MyID" scheme-description="My description" /> <assemblies> <assembly name="Shared" /> </assemblies> </gac-uninstall>
Uninstalls version 2.1.7.9201
of Shared
plus the Australian-cultured MyWeb
from the GAC.
<gac-uninstall> <assemblies> <assembly name="Shared" version="2.1.7.9201" /> <assembly name="MyWeb" culture="en-AU" /> </assemblies> </gac-uninstall>
Uninstalls the neutrally-cultured, version 1.0.5000.0
of System.Xml
from the native image cache. The assembly must also have a public key token of b77a5c561934e08a
to be uninstalled.
<gac-uninstall native="true"> <assemblies> <assembly name="System.Xml" version="1.0.5000.0" public-key-token="b77a5c561934e08a" culture="Neutral" /> </assemblies> </gac-uninstall>
