Assembly successfully added to the cache
That's because you use the .NET 4.0 version of gacutil.exe.
It stores the assembly in a different GAC, the one in
c:\windows\microsoft.net\assembly. Where all .NET 4.0 assemblies
are stored. There is no shell extension handler for that one,
the folders are visible as-is. You can have a look-see with
Windows Explorer, .you'll see the internal structure of the GAC
folders. You shouldn't have any trouble finding your assembly back,
the GAC isn't particularly complicated.If the assembly is intended
to be used by an app that targets an earlier version of .NET then
you should use the .NET 2.0 version of gacutil.exe, stored
in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin
