I want an administrator to register some DLLs for me, but he would probably prefer not to install the whole SDK.

Can he just install gacutil.exe? If so, where can he get it? Do I just email the gacutil.exe file to him, and where does he have to put it on his machine to use it?

I got it working by copying gacutil.exe, gacutil.exe.config and gacutlrc.dll. I understand it's against the licence, but you can't get InstallShield in VisualStudio Express so this was the simplest solution.
