.NET Framework Platform Tools
From SwinBrain
The .NET framework includes a runtime that provides an environment inside which .NET applications run. This environment helps abstract away some of the underlying platform. This topic lists some of the tools that are used to configure the .NET platform.
- gacutil.exe: This utility allows you to install and uninstall assemblies from the Global Assembly Cache.
- regsvcs.exe: This utility allows you to register a .NET assembly as a COM+ component.
- installutil.exe: This utility allows you to run installers that you have compiled into a .NET assembly. This is used to install things link windows services, message queues, etc.
