If all else fails, you could download the free .NET SDK and install it, if
you haven't already. Or you could just copy the utilities over from a
machine that has VS installed. They are development tools, not really
deployment tools, so they wouldn't be part of the redistributable.

If you're just trying to put something into the GAC, all you have to do is
navigate in Explorer to %system%\assembly and drag the assembly into the
folder.

Is it Win2003 64-bit version?

Threre is no support for the .NET Framework in Win2003 64 bit until next
release (Whidbey).

If not, your installation is corrupted and you should reinstall the .NET
Framework.

Sergio.

SN.EXE is missing

Hi,

I'm a developer who uses the full Enterprise version of Visual Studio. I have full installs of both VS 2003 and VS 2005, the 1.1 framework, SDK and all service packs.

I simply don't, however, have sn.exe. I've search the hard drive, and it doesn't exist. I just reapplied the framework SDK install and the 1.1 service pack, and still no sn.exe. It simply isn't there.

This is a machine which was freshly installed from blank disk with XP SP2, then had VS 2003 fully installed (roughly May 05). There never was an sn.exe. In fact, the same was noted on the previous development machine with VS 2003.

The install was always done from then-current MSDN Universal Subscription DVDs.

Any ideas what is going on? I really need this utility, but have yet to see it in existence after an install.
