Dear all,
is it possible to open .NET shell programmatically?

Do you mean the .NET Command Windows?

Just run the cmd.exe application, using the /k parameter, example below:

%windir%\syswow64\cmd.exe /k ""D:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio .NET 2003\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat""

is it possible to open .NET shell programmatically?

And just what would you want to do with it, having done so?

For example start regasm (and some other utilities, which are there without
VS). So far I just copied the most commands to set pathes from vcvars32 into
my prog.
Thanks,

If you want to run Framework utilities /wityhout/ having Visual
Studio installed, the you just need a shortcut that runs opens in the
Framework's executable directory, something like

%comspec% -k "cd /d %WinDir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322"

HTH,

C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\regasm.exe
