Windows question

[Charles]

(1a) At a command prompt, what version do you get for entering the following?

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\GacUtil.exe"

(1b) And for this?

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bin\GacUtil.exe"

(2) What version of Windows are you running?

(3) Are you running .NET 4 or not?

If you are on Windows, please respond. Thanks.

EDIT: I added double quotes above around the commands because there is a space in "Program Files".

Still pottering along on Windows XP at work, although Windows 7 is planned by the end of the year.
NET 4.0 installed, but not the system (or Cobra) default.

GacUtil was distributed with the .NET 1.0 and 1.1 frameworks.



Regards, Obtuse.

Edit: remove a couple of GAC-ish framework links, seeing as Publish.GacInstall is already used when installing from source. Lesson learned: keep my mouth shut unless I really know what I'm talking about (next lesson: this probably applies to this whole post).

[Charles]

Publish.GacInstall doesn't work in the case that the installer is running on .NET 2.0 virtual machine, but trying to build and install Cobra for 4.0. Hence the need for running gacutil.exe externally.

[ObtuseAngle]

OK, obviously this is way out of my league.

Is that the background behind this message?


Are the links on this page of any use?

Feeling more obtuse than usual.
