.NET Framework SDK

These are questions related to the installation and use of the .NET Framework SDK (software development kit).

Where is csc.exe?

March 15, 2002 Where is csc.exe?

If you installed the latest version of the SDK, you should have the following path under your Windows installation directory on your system drive:

<System Drive>:\<Windows Directory>\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\

<System Drive> is the drive letter where your Windows installation is located, (such as C or D) and <Windows Directory> is the directory where Windows is installed (such as Windows or WINNT). The csc.exe compiler executable will be found in the directory shown above.

If you are using a development environment other than Visual Studio.NET you should make sure that it can find the compiler executable. If you compile from the command line, make sure that the directory is in your PATH environment variable.
