.NET Framework Configuration Tool (Mscorcfg.msc)

  • Artikel

The .NET Framework Configuration tool is a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in that allows you to manage and configure assemblies in the Global Assembly Cache, adjust code access security policy, and adjust remoting services.

Starting the .NET Framework Configuration Tool

To run Mscorcfg.msc from the Start menu

  • On a computer running Windows 2000 Professional, click Start, point to Settings, and click Control Panel. Double-click Administrative Tools. In the Administrative Tools window, double-click Microsoft .NET Framework Configuration.

  • On a computer running Windows XP Professional, click Start, click Control Panel, click Performance and Maintenance, and click Administrative Tools. In the Administrative Tools window, double-click Microsoft .NET Framework Configuration.

  • On a computer running Windows 2000 Server or Windows Server 2003 family, click Start, point to Programs, and point to Administrative Tools. Click Microsoft .NET Framework Configuration.

    Note   The command to start Mscorcfg.msc appears in the Start menu only if MMC version 1.2 or later is installed on the computer. A compatible version of MMC is included with Windows 2000 and Windows XP. If Windows 98, Windows Me, or Windows NT 4 is running on the computer, you must download and install MMC 1.2 from Microsoft.com.

Remarks

This tool is intended to help advanced administrators perform tasks related to configuring applications. It is not intended for use by application users. Administrators should direct users who want to perform limited configuration tasks to the Microsoft .NET Framework Wizards (Configwizards.exe). This executable provides three wizards: Adjust .NET Security, Trust An Assembly, and Fix An Application. Users can click the links to start the wizards. You can run Configwizards.exe from the Start menu. How you navigate to Configwizards.exe from the Start menu differs depending on the operating system running on your computer. Configwizards.exe and Mscorcfg.msc are in the same location on the Start menu. To run Configwizards.exe from the Start menu, use the procedures described earlier in this topic that correspond to your operating system for running mscorcfg.msc. You can also run Configwizards.exe from the command line by typing %Systemroot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\version Number\configwizards.exe.
