Installing Global Assembly Cache

Hello guys. I am new to PortableApps, a colleague introduced me.
We are using some Apps for work with this platform and that mentioned colleague started portabilising those apps many years before.
Now I looked a bit further into an App, because I noted that this App wasn't actually portable.
He added an batch script to install some dependencies, but that only works if you delete a text file again. As a looked into those dependencies that come with the App I also noted there were scripts by the developer to install/uninstall those dependencies using "gacutil.exe".
