.NET framework 1.1 install problem vsvars32.bat missing

[abraxas]

Hello!
I tried searching tek-tips for some solution for this but alas the search functionality is undergoing maintenance.

I ambitiously installed .net framework 1.1 redis, .net framework 1.1 sp1 and .net SDK (108M big) on a win2000 adv server sp4 running ie 6 sp1 and mdac 2.8 (such prose)

What finally happened after the installs and reboots deserves a post on its own (PROBLEM! thankfully a previous tek-tips post helped big time) but three days later I managed to get some command line compilations going (Tutorial examples).

SDK created the Visual Studio .NET 2003 directory but I am not running Visual Studio product just to let you know. I think the SDK install was faulty (the previous PROBLEM!) since when I rebooted after the SDK install the system hung and kept hanging after all reboots. But as I said I wrangled my way out of that and eventually discovered that a much lauded vsvars32.bat was missing. I understand that the bat is created dynamically and may have not been created because of the system freeze.

I setup the environment vars manually and did a search and found sdkvars.bat. Things seem ok and I got the examples working but I was wondering, was vsvars32.bat the only thing not installed? Was it supposed to be installed with 1.1 SDK?

If anyone has done the non Visual Studio install method (ie downloads from MS) please let me know how you fared.

I might do the SDK download again when I can get a spare 7 hours (dial up connection)

Thanks in advance
Anthony

You only get the vsvars32.bat with visual studio. For the sdk only, you would use the sdkvars.bat.

When I first set up the sdk, I just altered the path manually -- adding the framework directories myself. Lots of trial and error, but I eventually got it working. Didn't discover the sdkvars.bat until later. :-(
