framework location and contents

[hidden]

I goggled for this information in this newsgroup and elsewhere before I
posted. Truely.
I'm sorry if this question has been asked and answered before. I couldn't
find it.

1) Is the framework always installed in
%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.Net\Framework\<version>?

2) Is there an enumeration of the files in the framework for 1.0 and 1.1?
For example, can I
rely on csc.exe always being present?

Thanks.

AFAIK yes.

If you don't delete it.

csc.exe was an example. I'm still looking for a complete enumeration.
Thanks.

Currently, yes. But who knows what could change in the future. If I
were you I'd use the published APIs to retreive the framework
directory if needed.

Hi,

I suggest that you can go to "DLL Help Database" web page below to check
with which products a file (say, csc.exe) is shipped:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=/servicedesks/fileversion/dll
info.asp&SD=MSDN&FR=0

Does this answer your question?

Have a nice day!

1) You want to use mscoree!GetCORSystemDirectory to get the correct
directory.
2) You can safely assume compilers for C#/VB/JScript.Net are always present,
given a successfully install.
