Cant find CorVars.bat file to fix DOS

[Brad Rogers]

Ive been struggling to get a command prompt for Visual Studio because DOS
cannot accept long directory names for some reason, then I read about
corvars.bat that will fix the environment variables, but cannot find this
file.

Its it a simple download?

Look for sdkvars.bat in the .NET 2.0 SDK. I believe this does the samething
as corvars.bat did in .NET 1.1. ???

Not 100% sure, I usually use the VS IDE.

Just reread this. You say you are "struggling to get a command prompt for
Visual Studio". That implies you already have VS installed, no? Why not
use the VS Command Prompt shortcut from the Visual Studio Tools start menu
program folder?

 

[Brad Rogers]

Yes I have VS2003 installed.

It is impossible to run ildasm or ilasm from a dos prompt, because its
impossible to navigate the dos window to that directory.

I couldnt find the shortcut youre talking about, wait is it in the start
menu? let me check... wow! incredible! a dos menu from there? is there an
emoticon for great relief? I spent HOURS trying to make DOS work, and here
the thing was in the start menu...

When I couldnt find the corvars thing, something that would unlock the
secret mystery of using a command window? it was just more frustrating...

So thanks for pointing this out!
