netfxsbs10.xe - What does that do?

[Guest]

I went to \windows\microsoft.net\framework and i typed
netfxsbs10 /? and it just went to the next command prompt. I thought it
may bring up a help screen about that executable, but I "fear" that the
executable ran.

What exactly dows that executable do? I ran this on my Windows 2003 server
box with IIS installed?


Thanks

It's part of the .NET framework's installation system; no-one seems to
know much more than that . I believe it'll not do anything if just
run directly like you did, so your server should survive intact...

I wouldn't worry about it. The name of the program is "Microsoft .Net
Installation Hook." I was only able to find one reference to the phrase
"Installation Hook" anywhere on the web, and that was at the Microsoft web
site:

Apparently it is used when installing the .Net Framework to install DLLs.
