According to this bug post[1], this should have been fixed in Beta 2. If you are using Beta 2, then your should report a bug regarding this.

"SDK now installs these files"?
But how about redistributable(dotnetfx)?Or user computers don't need configuration tools?
Strange...

Yea I am surprised about that. I suspect that they believe that setup applications will automatically setup code access settings for end users. So they don't need to worry about it.

So,I need to download and install 3XXMB file only for 52kb(mscorcfg.msc) to get control of my pc?
Great Sad

I noticed this today as well. My desktop with VS2005b2 has the .msc but not my server where I applied just the 2.0b2 runtime.

The basic answer here is that, yes, it has been removed from the .NET Framework and it is still available for developers in the SDK.

The CLR team did a lot of work to determine how end users would use the tool and decided to move out of the .NET Framework.

If there are specific things you are trying to do that you can't do programatically or with caspol.exe, please do post those questions. It is always good to get information directly from customers about what they are trying to accomplish.

Reason to have ALL config utilities in place is simple-I wan't to install SDK on my single 2003 production server or fall back to scripting(who remeber all scripting tricks after successful server configuration?) only to fix current issue-I want to have full control of my system without much hassle anytime in any situation.If win2003 have GUI and console confuguration tools,why .NET different?
Maybe it must be installation option but it MUST IMHO.
Thanks.

this is ridiculous. i just broke the 2.0 mscorcfg on my development machine trying to figure out how to install it on a workstation i need to futz around with.

please make a redist package for mscorcfg.

this is ridiculous.

looks like they are trying to "shed some pounds" from the framework download (since Java is about half the size)

i believe that my mscorcfg came with .NET 1.1 which was a critical hotfix for SP2 via WinUpdate - there does not appear to be one associated with the full beta SDK install (2.0.50215)...haven't installed the final release, yet (from 10/27/05)

conceivably, you should be able to copy the mscorcfg.msc file from one machine to another (eliminating the need for a specific redistributable) but the recommendation of using caspol.exe to accomplish the necessary security settings (for webservices, in my case) might be just as good

a description on how to accomplish this can be found at this URL:
