Add assembly to C:\Windows\assembly?

Anyone know how to add an assembly to C:\Windows\assembly? I need to add Microsoft.Office.Policy.

I'm using Windows 7 Pro x64, for my SharePoint 2010 foundations environment. Trying to import a site, but when I run "Import-SPWeb -identity http://xxx –path C:\xxx\Export.cmp, I have feature conflicts. So I need to install the feature via stsadm -o installfeature -name LocationBasedPolicy.

I grabbed the feature from the host server, but it won't install due to not having the necessary assembly, as I get the error:Failed to load receiver assembly "Microsoft.Office.Policy, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" for feature "LocationBasedPolicy"

Edit: Was able to figure it out... I navigated to the remote server location of C:\Windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL, and then copied the necessary assembly, since you can't copy from C:\Windows\assembly

I typically use gacutil as per the directions here: How to: Install an Assembly into the Global Assembly Cache

Thanks for the reply. I noticed that after a little research, but I don't have VS. For a quick fix, I just copied all of them from the remote server (by typing C:\Windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL in the run box), and pasted them into my local folder.
