I've got Windows 10 Pro 64 bit, Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 and the full Windows 10 SDK package but I'm not able to find gacutil.exe in:

  • Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 subdirectories
  • Windows 10 SDK subdirectories
  • C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET subdirectories
  • C:\Windows\System32
  • C:\Windows\SysWOW64
  • C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies subdirectories
  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies subdirectories

Don't come tell me it's a duplicate, please. The other answers don't actually answer my question.

Any idea? Thanks in advance!

I had to use the Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Developer Command Prompt.

Unfortunately, Microsoft KB's are outdated and they usually give the wrong answers.

Go to Start -> Visual Studio 2015 -> Developer Command Prompt for VS2015
