You can also use the Resolve-assembly cmdlet from the PowerShell community
extensions

and alternatively, using pscx, there is a GAC: drive. Calling invoke-
item against any of the paths -- wildcards also work -- will load the
assembly(ies). This is handy for batch loading of related assemblies.
e.g.

PS > ii gac:system.workflow*

GAC Version Location
--- ------- --------
True v2.0.50727 C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC_MSIL
\System.Workflow.ComponentModel\3.0.0.0__31bf3856ad364e35\System.W...
True v2.0.50727 C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC_MSIL
\System.Workflow.Activities\3.0.0.0__31bf3856ad364e35\System.Workf...
True v2.0.50727 C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC_MSIL
\System.Workflow.Runtime\3.0.0.0__31bf3856ad364e35\System.Workflow...
True v2.0.50727 C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC_MSIL
\System.WorkflowServices\3.5.0.0__31bf3856ad364e35\System.Workflow...

("ii" is an alias for invoke-item).
