Due to circumstances I used PowerShell copy-item. Be aware that the setup requires the version number:
c:\windows\assembly\gac_..\AssemblyNamespace.subnamespace(s)\version\Assembly.Name.dll
Option 3: Use the SUBST Command
Powershell
subst g: c:\windows\assembly
To remove use
subst g: /d

Another way is to type a path beyond ‘C:\windows\assembly’ in the Run window. If you’re running .NET 2.0 or greater, try ‘C:\windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL’ and it will open up an explorer window to that folder. Do note that this method does not work from an open explorer window, but only the Run window.
