Hello, I’m confused. I open the Visual Studio 2008 prompt as administrator, and then run SPDev.exe -o Gac. I get “The methid or operation is not implemented”. If get this error even if I use the actual -file parameter, with a file between quotes. Why does it do that?
SPDev.exe -o Gac -file “..\bin\Release\MyDll.dll”
PS: I notice that your example shows build 1.3.10 when the only build I found for download is 1.3.9.1210. Is that the reason?
