.net framework installation succeeded, but cant configure it
 

dear all
we seem to have installed .net framework 1.1 and 2.0 successfully under
windows me, but after its installation, it did not create shortcuts to the
wizard/configuration of it under control panel/administrative tools.
we need to configure the .net framework to make some of our apps to run.
we cannot execute the mscorcfg.msc file under windows me.
the .net app still fails to load. after searching for the kb on the support
website, the doc says the minimum requirements are to have wmi, mdac, windows
installer 2 etc. when i try to download wmi, i only found wmi for windows
95/98 or windows nt4.
The question is:
Should I download and install the win95/98 version of wmi on windows me?
Will that let me execute mscorcfg.msc so i can configure the .net framework?
If not, what can I do?

.net framework installation succeeded, but cant configure it
 

Win Me has no Administrative Tools control panel applet even when the .NET
framework is installed.

To launch the Configuration Wizard run ConfigWizards.exe in the
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322 folder (I don't know about
..NET 2.0 not having it installed on Win Me). To configure .NET I suspect
you may have to run the various utilities from a command prompt.

The question is:
Should I download and install the win95/98 version of wmi on windows
me?

No, Win Me has WMI already installed.

If not, what can I do?

You could try posting to a more appropriate newsgroup such as one
supporting .NET although whether you will be able to find someone who can
help with the older Win 9x operating systems might be more difficult.
Remember that Win 9x operating systems such as Win Me are no longer
supported by Microsoft.

Sorry not to be able to help, configuring .NET in Win Me is something I've
never needed to do.

Thanks for writing back!
Heh - long frustrating story - but to cut it short:
MS's specs states that dotnet 1.1 supports WinME plus other O/S.
In dotnet 1.1, there are two icons in control panel- one is the config
wizard which can be run directly by runing configwizards.exe. the other is
the configuration (which we need to run to allow some permissions) which
points to mscorcfg.msc (apparently a microsoft common console file)
our trouble is that we cannot run the mscorcfg.msc in windows me(where we
need to configure the runtime security policy/code group/local intranet zone)
in windows xp you can run mscorcfg.msc in command prompt.

I also read that WinME has WMI installed. however, I also read elsewhere in
a kb that to confirm installation of wmi, there should be a wbem folder under
%systemroot%/system32/. but our WinME does not have that folder. so i dont
know if it has it or not. i tried to check add/remove programs but its not
there.

installation of dotnet 2 is also strange. in windows xp, after installing
it, there is no configuration icon shortcut created if you use windows update
to install it. whereas after i use some kind of run time to install dotnet 2,
it created a 2.0 icon that points to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin\mscorcfg.msc" (not under
c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework .....) i wonder why microsoft hides the
access to 2.0's configuration applet? it gives me a very funny feeling - as
if things were not tested properly and we're left in the dark.

Being a Win 9x system Win Me has the WBEM folder under %windir%\system
rather than system32.

As for configuring the .NET permissions try running the various applets
from a command prompt as I previously suggested.
