Introduction Since I started working with SharePoint environments in global companies there has been a common complaint for remote users.  Performance.  Users in remote locations can feel disenfranchised by slow page load times and overall latency of the platform.  In reality, who wants to consume information from a corporate intranet that takes 15 seconds or more to paint a page?  There are several solutions to this issue, with different advantages and drawbacks, and depending on an individual companies unique needs different approaches should be considered. Why is SharePoint Slow?   This is the question that I first asked myself when determining the best way to speed it up.  The framework, one of the greatest strengths of SharePoint is also its icicles heal.  SharePoint provides a robust framework that allows end users to modify pages and content though lists and web parts.  End users can create site collections and sites to rapidly respond to changing business needs.  

I had this error when I tried deploy a WSP into a SharePoint farm, one of the DLLs needed to go into the GAC (global assembly cache.)   I checked the GAC and the file already existed, I tried to uninstall the file and got the error that the file was in use and could be deleted.   After doing some checking around I found the following link that resolved my issue: __http://support.microsoft.com/kb/873195__ Basically you go into the registry and find go to the following locations: ·         HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Installer\Assemblies\Global ·         HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\Installer\Assemblies\Global Find the entry for your problem assembly and remove it.   Then try and uninstall the assembly out of the GAC and redeploy your WSP.
