I want to use the Publish.GacRemove function to remove an assembly from GAC. However, I don't understand what path I should pass as an argument.

Should it be a path to the original DLL (what if I removed it after installing it in the GAC?) or the path to the assembly in the GAC?

UPDATE:

I finally used these API wrappers.
