InstallUtil on Windows Server 2003?

[Guest]

We have replaced a Windows 2000 Server box with a Windows Server 2003 box. I
have a service written in VB.NET that needs to run on this new box, but I
cannot figure out how to install it. On the W2K box I used InstallUtil.exe
from the .NET Framework folder, but neither of these exists in our Win2003
installation.

So, how do I install my service?

Have you tried searching for it? I should be in
%windir%\Microsoft.Net\Framework\<DotNetVersion>

Note: this not in the PATH.

Yes. First, using Windows Explorer, I could not find any Microsoft.NET
folder under the Windows folder, nor under any sub folder. Then I did a
search for 'InstallUtil', 'InstallUtil.exe' and 'Install*' and there were no
hits for InstallUtil.exe.

From the Windows 2003 SP1 Release Notes:
The Microsoft .NET Framework version 1.1
The Microsoft .NET Framework is built into all products in the Windows
Server 2003 family except for the 64-bit versions.

The 32-bit version of the .NET Framework 1.1 is supported by 64-bit versions
of Windows Server 2003 with SP1 and can be installed for 32-bit applications
that are running on 64-bit versions of Windows operating systems. The 32-bit
version of the .NET Framework 1.1 takes advantage of the Windows on Windows
64 (WOW64) 32-bit subsystem.

To install the .NET Framework 1.1, use Windows Update, or visit the
following Microsoft Web site to download the .NET Framework 1.1

Thank you, Jonathan. That did it. I had assumed that Win Svr 2003 x64 would
include the Framework like the 32-bit version (which we've had running on two
other servers for nearly a year now).

Now to see if IBM's Client Access Express will run on it as well... :^)

Thanks again.
