Hi all,
I have installed the dotnet framework (not the sdk) on a
windows xp machine throu the windows update site.
Then i used same applications with ie deployment features
and next I wanted to clean the download cache.
I know that the download cache colud be cleaned with the
utility named 'gacutil.exe' but I am not able to found it
on this machine, I found it only on machines with the
dotnet sdk.

There is an other way to clean the download cache without
use gacutil?

thanks all
 
Hi Sergio,

Thanks for your post. Did you install .NET Framework 1.0? If so, you have
to install .NET Framework 1.0 Service Pack 2 which contains gacutil.exe.
The .NET Framework 1.0 Service Pack 2 can be downloaded from our web site
at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/downloads/updates/sp/download/default
..aspx

And the gacutil.exe can be found at the following directory for .NET
Framework 1.0 and 1.1 respectively:
<WINDOWS folder>\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705
<WINDOWS folder>\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322

Hope this helps.

Hi tim,
thank for your reply.

I installed DotNet framework v1.1 through windows update
and so i have two folders :

c:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705
c:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322

but gacutil.exe is not present in v1.1.4322 nor v1.0.3705
directory.

On an other computer that comes with windows xp
preinstalled I installed 'windows xp sp1a' and also .net
framework v1.1 from the sp1a cd. Then I have the same
problem, the directory are obviously the same but
gacutil.exe is not present.


Help please
 
Hi Sergio,

Thanks for your feedback. I built a new system and reproduced the problem
on my side. It seems that .NET Framework 1.1 redistributable does not
include the tool gacutil.exe. To workaround this problem, I suggest you to
manually copy the files gacutil.exe and gacutil.exe.config (form a system
with this tool under .NET Framework 1.1) to the following folder:

c:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322

It works proerply on my side then. Please feel free to let me know if you
have any problems or concerns.

Have a nice day!
