How deploy dll to GAC in production

I tested the GAC in dev, I installed it with the gacutil with the Visual studio's CLI.

For production, there is no Visual studio's CLI and no SDK (I think) so my question is

How can I deploy the dll's to GAC without gacutil? Is it possible to make a sort of exe or msi to put all dll's to server and developper's comuter?

Many thanks to help me

    It seems that you have 2 solutions: Using an installer or using GacUtil. Since GacUtil is not installed (it comes with an SDK), you should go for the installer option.
