You can use WSH with VBScript and open the file with WSH.

Here you can call the tool gacutil

from VBScript:

Const GACUTILPATH = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bin\gacutil.exe"
strAssembly = "MyAssembly"  '' or "MyAssembly,Version=1.1.0.0,Culture=en,PublicKeyToken=874e23ab874e23ab"

Set oShell  = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
oShell.Run """" & GACUTILPATH & """ /nologo /u " & strAssembly
