Cobra Forums

hello... im new in using this language... i was trying to install this.. and ask to install .net 4... but it says
==== Install Cobra.Core library to the GAC

** ERROR: Cannot locate a gacutil. Maybe you can try again using the "Visual Stu
dio Command Prompt" or ".NET SDK Command Prompt".
You may need to install the Windows SDK (https://www.google.com/search?q=windows
+sdk+.net+4)
Need help with the above error?
* Make sure you ran as a Windows Administrator.
* Install .NET or a Visual Studio product if you have not before.

pls help me... sorry if im a noob

Grab the SDK (that Google link, but all on one line). Should be from a Microsoft site.
Stay online so the installer can download the necessary bits.
Install only the .Net tools (includes a gacutil, amongst other tools) not everything.
Try again.

Goods luck!

i downloaded the SDK... but then another error..

im a little more confused...

What was the text before that? Did you get some message about permission errors possibly?

Also, what platform are you on? You can try "cobra -about" or if that's not working yet, "Snapshot/cobra -about".

What drive and path are you on?

What op sys and version?

im running in windows xp and im using 0.9.2 version of cobra and tried to install microsoft.net 4... but since the sdk i tried to download is for windows 7, i think i wont work...

this is the whole message i recieved... i tried the .net 3.5... still the same problem

Why Cobra 0.9.2 instead of the newer 0.9.3?

i change the cobra to a newer version but i realized the sdk only compatible to win xp sp3 and mine is sp2... so i think i got to upgrade this to win 7...

i somehow downloaded a sdk for .net 3.5 but i still got the error messages just like the last time:
