Hi All,
I somehow had some Plantronics DLLs and policy files stuck in the GAC in C:\Windows\Assembly!
Despite having uninstalled all Plantronics installers and other applications that used those DLLs.
Right-clicking on the files in C:\Windows\Assembly gave Access Denied even running Windows Explorer as Administrator.
The solution I found was this:
- Run an elevated command prompt, preferably the one that comes with visual studio (so it can see gacutil)
i.e. Start > All Programs > Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 > Visual Studio Tools > Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt
Note: Hold Shift and Ctrl when you click the shortcut to get elevated (if you are using UAC) - Obtain a text file list of the Plantronics files, by running:
dir c:\windows\assembly\GAC_32\*Plantronics* > pltlist.txt - Now uninstall those files with:
gacutil /ul pltlist.txt - There was 1 other Spokes DLL that this didn't pick up, that I uninstalled with:
gacutil /u Plantronics.Config.XmlSerializers
(that was because it was under c:\windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL)
Thanks,
Lewis
