Silverlight in the GAC?

I have tried to get a Silverlight web part to work in SharePoint, but each time I add the web part to the page, I get the SharePoint error message.  Here's the tutorial I just followed: http://blogs.msdn.com/andreww/archive/2009/03/12/silverlight-web-part-in-sharepoint.aspx

The only thing I think I'm missing is System.Web.Silverlight in the GAC, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to do that.  When I try to add it using .NET Configuration 1.1, I get an error messge that says: Unable to add the selected assembly.  The assembly must have a strong name (name, version, and public key).

I'm running Windows Server 2003 on a Virtual Machine.

Thanks for the response!

I ran gacutil from the Visual Studio Command Prompt (couldn't get it to work from Run --> cmd) and it said it was successfully added.  However, i'm still getting the same error in SharePoint when I try to add the web part, and the .NET Configuration still doesn't show it in the Assembly Cache (I did refresh), and I still get the same error when I try to add it in there.  I am doing all of this on the server running SharePoint.
Found a website to set web.config so SharePoint can give more meaningful error messages, and this is the error I'm getting:

Good call, Admin3k.  Opened up .NET Configuration 2.0 and the dll is indeed in the GAC.  However, I'm still getting the error posted above.

Help?

Thanks!

Thanks, Admin3k.  I added the code to my web.config file, and now I'm getting a different error:

Ugh...I found this link: http://blogs.msdn.com/fooshen/archive/2008/10/18/performance-point-server-2007-and-ajax-on-sharepoint.aspx

However, I can't get to the PPS and PPM web.config files.  Should I just install AJAX?
Shouldn't harm & could possibly solve it if some older code is involved.

Oddly, the web page shared a part from PerformancePoint dashboard.  Taking that out (in addition to adding the lines below to the main web.config as well as the web.configs in PPSMonitoring - Preview and PPSMonitoring - Web Service) solved the problem.

Thanks!
