Compiling C# apps in Windows 98

[Fernando Ronci]

Hi,

How can I compile C# apps on windows 98 without Visual Studio .NET ?
The .NET Framework redistributable that gets intalled on Win 98 doesn't
include the command line compiler csc.
In other words, what .NET tools (just command line utilities, no more than
that) can be installed on Windows 98 ?

Thank you,

Fernando Ronci

I think it does. I used to compile .NET stuff on Win98 with only the
framework installed. Have you looked in the
c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322
directory?

Hi Fernando,

Although I haven't tested it on Win98 I managed to do C# programming just fine under WinME.
There is even a way to install the Framework SDK by unpacking it and run the install file manually.

Thanks, there it was "csc.exe".
