Placing wsp file in GAC folder-Sharepoint Custom webpart

Question

I wrote a webpart in C# and build it successfully in Visual Studio 2008. I have SP 2007 in my local machine.

I cannot do debugbing. I have to place the wsp file in Gac so that I can debug it.

How can I place it in C;\Windows\Assembly\GAC_MSIL as I cannot manully browse into that loaction.

Thank you

You should add the .pdb file to the GAC folder where the .dll file is located, not the entire .wsp package. Do not forget iisreset afterwards.

To browse the c:\Windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\ folder use one of these 5 tricks. There is also a 6^th way - Total Commander treats GAC like any other folder.
