I have made a .NET .DLL file, which I want to register in the GAC.
I have used this command in Windows Server 2003 Command Prompt:
C:\"Path of dll"\>gacutil /i dllname.dll 'gacutil' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. It says the path is not correct.
Do I need to use this in a .NET cmd prompt? If it is that, I am not able to locate the .NET cmd prompt.

You can actually navigate to the GAC via explorer or the command line and view the contents of the folder. It's location is C:\Windows\assembly. When viewing via explorer the actual files are hidden and abstracted away, if you need to copy or extract specific versions of the dlls the command line is the way to go.
Click Start > All Programs > Accessories and right-click on "Command Prompt" and select "Run as Administrator" OR in the Search box, type CMD and when cmd.exe appears in your results, right-click on cmd.exe and select "Run as administrator" At the command prompt, enter: REGSVR32 "PATH TO THE DLL FILE"
You can do that using the gacutil tool. In its simplest form:
gacutil /i yourdll.dll You find the Visual Studio Command Prompt in the start menu under Programs -> Visual Studio -> Visual Studio Tools.
