No, sorry, no idea at all. I've had problems adding things to the GAC using this script (or by direct use of the command line) on Vista, but there were fairly specific messages about permissions. I resolved it by moving the DLLs into the GAC using the .NET administration tools available via the control panel.

Salutations! It's a privilege to get a quick answer from you directly. You sent me down a promising path with the Control Panel's .NET administration tools. Excellent next step. The error I get now is much more specific when adding IKVM.GNU.Classpath.dll to the GAC: Cannot Add Assembly Unable to add the selected assembly. The assembly must have a strong name (name, version and public key). We're getting closer <s>. BTW, IKVM.Runtime.dll seems fine in the GAC. -- Steve

I can do soem checks, though it may have to wait until I'm home next week. Which version of Saxon exactly did you get this module from? You could try downloading the module directly from www.ikvm.net - Saxon is using version 0.32.0.0. This module is redistributed "as is" from the IKVM distribution, so it's hard to see how it could have lost its strong name en route. Michael Kay

Thanks again for the reply. I downloaded the latest version of Saxon available yesterday. Can you direct me to where I can find a signed functional version of IKVM.GNU.Classpath.dll? Everything I've dowloaded so far contains java source but no immediately usable packages. Looking at a wide variety of forum postings, unsigned IKVM packages are a common problem. Meanwhile I'll try downloading a prior version of Saxon .NET. Somebody should probably flag this version because apparently it's wholly unusable as currently packaged,

To clarify further, I am unable to add IKVM.GNU.Classpath.dll to the GAC from either of these versions of Saxon for .NET. saxonsa9-0-0-4n.zip saxonb9-0-0-4n.zip I can't find other prior versions to download to get something working here. As of now, no rush, I've decided to "drop-back-and-punt", and hard-code the work I was hoping to get flowing with XSLT 2.0. At some level, getting things working trumps apparently better but unfortunately non-functional options. It would have been nice to have a version prior to 9-0-0-4 to go-to, but I could not find it, and with SourceForge pages loading like molasses, I'm done. I hope to get the opportunity to try this sometime in the future. Keep up the good work, too bad about the this IKVM bummer... -- Steve

I'm afraid I can't reproduce your problem. I have removed the current IKVM.GNU.Classpath.dll (version 0.32.0.0) from my GAC, extracted the version from the 9.0.0.4 issued ZIP file, and reinstalled it in the GAC without problems. I have also verified it using "sn -v". I think the problem must be something local to your configuration. Try listing the current contents of your GAC to make sure that the assembly is not already there. Try using sn -v to verify that it is intact. I'm not sure why you are having difficulty locating previous versions of Saxon or IKVM. All Saxon-B issued code is available at https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=29872&amp;package_id=21888 All Saxon-SA issued code is available at http://www.saxonica.com/download_page_fs.html All IKVM code is available at https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=69637 Regards, Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/

I've gone right back to downloading a clean copy of the .zip file for Saxon-B 9.0.0.4 on SourceForge, and the assembly extracts from the ZIP file and loads into the GAC just fine.
