    .Net Framework 3.5 and GAC

    Hi

    I have .Net Framework 3.0 installed on my machine.

    I want to know that if I install .Net Framework 3.5 over it, will clear out my GAC, or will it retain the previous GAC entries?

    Thanks

    No, it will retain all previous entries. The Framework 3.5 Assemblies will have different version numbers. You will see all updated Assembly files listed under the old version (ie Accessibility 1.0.5000.0 above Accessibility 2.0.0 in the list. You can only view this way in Windows Explorer in C:\WINDOWS\assembly. From a Command Line to C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC...you will only see limited info.
