Hi, all!

I have already installed .NET Framework CLR on Win 2000, SP4 machine.
I installed it from dotnetfx.exe.

My .NET application does access to COM and COM+ object and vice versa.
All wrapper COM->.NET and .NET->COM should be created during setup process.

A problem is , that this package doesn't include follow utilities:
-gacutil.exe - install .NET components into GAC
-tlbimp.exe - create RCW

What can I do?

Thanks in advance
 
Hi ,Gabriele! Thanks for you so quickly response!

May be you know is SDK also redistributable or not?

Thanks a lot,

Evgeny
 
If I need follow utilities not only in development mode?
Should I pay for it separately per client machine/users?
Thanks in advance
 
The Microsoft .NET Framework SDK is not redistributable, except with a
special license agreement. It is typically not done. One exception is
Borland, which redistributes the Microsoft .NET Framework SDK, I beleive
with it's C# Builder product. In this way a customer who buys C# builder
need not also separately install the .NET Framework SDK.

The .NET Framework SDK is licensed, but is free. So if you need it on
multiple client machines running Windows, then you need to install it on
each one, but there is no fee.

But it is not clear to me why you would need the .NET Framework SDK on
client machines, unless those machines are being used by developers to build
..NET Framework applications. Running .NET Framework apps does not
typically require the SDK.

Can you tell me, what part of the SDK do you need at runtime for your app ?
tlbimp? tlbexp? These should not be necessary.
