I’ve used this quite a bit on BTS 2004. Instead of deploying projects through Visual Studio, sometimes I want to just overwrite the DLL in the GAC, restart BizTalk, and start using it.

Here’s one of the easier ways to do this:

Create a .reg file with the following text.

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllfile\shell\gacutil\command]

@=”c:\WINDOWS\\Microsoft.NET\\Frame%u00adwork\\v1.1.4322\\gacutil.exe /i \”%1\” “

Double click the .reg file and right click on the strongly named .DLL to see the new menu item.
