DMF 2.0

Posted on by Community Member

I am trying to install DMF 2.0. Upon initial attempt the Prerequisite validation I had an error that said I need .NET framework 4.5. So I have now installed that. Now when I run the Prerequisite validation I'm getting two errors that state the following:

Gacutil utility for registering .NET 3.5 assembly

 

Gacutil utility for registering .NET 4.0 assembly

 

I haven't been able to locate any information on this specific issues. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you,

 

Z

    I have been able to get the prerequisite validation to pass. I was fortunate to have a duplicate server. So I had somewhere to copy these files from. But what I found was the installing 4.5 will remove the previous .NET version files (This is on the KB for 4.5). So I had to copy the "gacutil.exe" and gacutil.exe.config" files to the following locations:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Bin

    and

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Bin\NETFX4.0 Tools

    Leaving a copy of these files in each location fulfilled the validation.

    as Zach said, replacing these files

    cid-5ae3f43b1d873a75.office.live.com/.../gacutil.zip

    into this paths:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Bin

    and

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Bin\NETFX4.0 Tools

    it would pass the validation process.

    I too have the validation pre-req failure on "Gacutil utility for registering .NET 4.0 assembly" when trying to install the AOS component on the AOS server.

    I have copied the gacutil and gacutil.exe.config into the following paths:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Bin

    and

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Bin\NETFX4.0 Tools

    But still get the error.  Any help would be gratefully recieved

    Hi Neil,

    I had to make sure there was a space in between "NETFX" and "4.0" in my path:

      "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools\"

    I have also seen other users report slightly different paths, so you could try these if the above doesn't work:

       "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0a\Bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools\"

       "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools\"

    Also note that if you installed the SDK on a different drive (other than C), it may be checking for the gacutil on that drive.

    Good luck!
