Hi ,
I am running windows 2000 server , service pack 4. I installed " .NET
Framework version 1.1 redistributable package" and then installed " .NET
Framework Software Development Kit (SDK) version 1.1" . I see
documentation, samples , tutorials etc. but I am trying to locate the C#
compiler (csc.exe or csc.bat or whatever) and I could not locate it.
"Building from command line" in documentation says something about a
"VCVARS32.BAT" file. I can not locate that file anywhere (in the two
installation locations).
I installed redistributable package on C drive and the SDK on F drive. It
really shouldn't matter and I did not see any error messages at
installation time but still.... I did not see any messages for restarting my
computer so I have not restarted my computer after these two installations.
Do I need to install something different/more ? Years ago(!) I remember
installing SDK and had the C# compiler installed with it. It was still beta
at the time.

Thanks,
Abhijat

Okay, the C# compiler csc.exe is located under Microsoft.Net directory
in you windows directory. you can find it at
%windir%\Microsoft.Net\Framework\[Version]\

[Version] = the version of the framework installed on you machine. For
1.1 ive got v1.1.4322

In that folder you will find csc.exe and vbc.exe. I suggest you add the
path to the PATH environment variable in you machine so that you can
execute the compilers from command line.
