There is a SSIS package that will be running on a Windows Server 2008 R2 database server. It refers to couple of .Net 4.0 dlls. We are having trouble in registering those dlls into GAC on the Database server.
We have tried the following things but with no luck.
1. Opening the assembly folder as Admin and trying to drag and drop
2. GACUTIL is not present on the Window server 2008. However tried copying GACUTIL.exe and it's .config to the server and tried to install the 4.0 dlls. It threw error message can't use GACUTIL for new version of dll beyond 3.5.
3. .NET Framework Configuration Tool (Mscorcfg.msc) not present on the server.
4. Could not install Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) as the same process will have to repeated for PRODUCTION environment.
Based on different suggestions on various forums only one option that is not tried is "Using Microsoft Windows Installer 2.0".
Before using this approach just wanted to check if there is an any other options?
Thanks in advance.
