vinifera Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 (edited) bare with me in this situation if i didn't install .net (1.1 or 2, no matter), but just copied folders from \Windows\ directory(assembly, Microsoft.NET and WinSxS) from another installed XP that had .net installedwhat needs to be done, to "register" that components so windows can see them and use them ?and do i need to export/import some reg entries ?

Guest Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Virtually impossible with .NET. The setup routine needs to run. You could Regshot an installation and reproduce it but I believe there are complicated file actions that only the installer can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinifera Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share Posted September 30, 2010 and copying just folders won't do anything at all ?I mean, sometime when an app requires dll and user downloads it and puts it into samefolder it will work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 It needs miles of registry data. You could set up a virtual machine to run the installers on and take a Regshot and then transfer it to your live system.When you register a dll all you are doing is writing things to the registry. So this can be mimiced with a reg file made by Regshot. The only issue I see is the Assembly folder. It has special properties via a desktop.ini...; ==++==; ; Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation.

vinifera Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share Posted September 30, 2010 problem is I can't regshot since .net I wish to "give" to XPwould be from Longhorn build 3718 and I think its early .net version differs from final ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
