I goggled for this information in this newsgroup and elsewhere before I
posted. Truely.
I'm sorry if this question has been asked and answered before. I couldn't
find it.

1) Is the framework always installed in
%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.Net\Framework\<version>?

2) Is there an enumeration of the files in the framework for 1.0 and 1.1?
For example, can I
rely on csc.exe always being present?

Thanks.

AFAIK yes.

If you don't delete it.

csc.exe was an example. I'm still looking for a complete enumeration.
Thanks.

Currently, yes. But who knows what could change in the future. If I
were you I'd use the published APIs to retreive the framework
directory if needed.

1) You want to use mscoree!GetCORSystemDirectory to get the correct
directory.
2) You can safely assume compilers for C#/VB/JScript.Net are always present,
given a successfully install.
