Running an ASP.NET 4.x app that consumes an assembly from the Global Assembly Cache (GAC).
The Dockerfile assumes that your solution is named COMClient and is placed at the same level as the Dockerfile. The Dockerfile also assume that you’ve published the application to the bin\Release\Publish folder.
The Dockerfile downloads and installs the VC++ redistributable in a special way due to the fact that the installer is asynchronous. The PowerShell Start-Process and Wait-Process Cmdlets synchronize the operation so the docker build doesn’t terminate prematurely.
The Dockerfile then registers the ATL/COM DLL that the .NET 2.0 project depends on. Care is taken to use the 32-bit regsvr.exe which is located in c:\Windows\SysWOW64.
Just before putting the published artifacts into c:\inetpub\wwwroot 32-bit execution is enabled in IIS.

THis PowerShell script will be executed during container build and will add the library into the container’s GAC.
