I used the Visual Studio 2010 Command Prompt's gacutil.exe to install an assembly. I expected the assembly to be added to C:\WINDOWS\assemblies, but it was instead added to C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL and is not showing up in C:\WINDOWS\assemblies. Is this a problem and should I be concerned that it's not showing up there?

What OS are you using -- I don't even have a `C:\WINDOWS\assemblies` on this Vista install – Rowland Shaw Jun 16 '10 at 18:00

We went through this in your previous question. No, it is not a problem. – Hans Passant Jun 16 '10 at 18:45

The GAC location was changed in .Net 4. Check .NET 4.0 has a new GAC, why? for details.
