.SYNOPSIS Gets the FileInfo of assemblies in the GAC .DESCRIPTION Gets the FileInfo of assemblies in the GAC. FileInfo can be used as input for Copy-Item to extract an assembly from the GAC or to get the VersionInfo from the assembly. .PARAMETER AssemblyName Specifies the assembly name. Must be fully qualified. See Test-AssemblyNameFullyQualified. .INPUTS [System.Reflection.AssemblyName[]] .EXAMPLE C:\PS> Get-GacAssembly -Name System -Version 4.0.0.0 | Get-GacAssemblyFile | Copy-Item -Destination C:\Temp This example extracts the System assembly with version 4.0.0.0 from the GAC to the C:\Temp path. .EXAMPLE C:\PS> (Get-GacAssembly -Name System | Get-GacAssemblyFile).VersionInfo ProductVersion FileVersion FileName -------------- ----------- -------- 2.0.50727.6401 2.0.50727.640...
