Evidently it’s not enough to install the redistributable for the .NET 2.0 framework if you want the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Configuration control panel applet.
I don’t know why you would need to install an entire 345 MB SDK for the control panel applet when the 22 MB framework handles about everything else.
“About” I say, because InstallUtil.exe didn’t seem to install the Firebird provider in the GAC, although it reported success, and gacutil.exe reports missing MSVCR71.dll on Windows 2003 Server.
XCOPY it is…
