The book of CLR via C# has this line at page 76.

When you install the .NET Framework, tow copies of Microsoft's assembly files are actuall installed. One set is installed into the compiler/CLR directory, and another set is installed into GAC subdirectory

I could find the GAC at

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly
, but I couldn't find the compiler/CLR thing.

  • What's the physical directory name of compiler/CLR? I mean, where is it?
  • Why there are two GAC in assembly directory? I find GAC_32 and GAC_MSIL.
