aspnet_regsql problem

Can’t get command prompt to recognize the Microsoft.NET directory. From the command prompt at C:\>
I type the following, cd WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 – command prompt returns “Invalid Directory” could it be the “.” What is the work around?
I tried using the wizard (which is the only way I could get to it) but I suspect it won’t do the job. If anybody could solve this DOS problem I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

 

Hi,
Can you you browse to it with the file Explorer?
By any chance are you running Windows 7?
If so, locate that folder with the file explorer then hold Shift as you Right-click on the folder.
You'll see an option to open the command window there.
If you're on Vista try running the command prompt from Vista as Administrator.
All the best,

aspnet_regsql cont

I'm running Windows XP (sp3), and yes I can navigate to it from Win Exp & tried to right click for options but none that could get me to the command prompt. all it would let me do is execute (which takes you immediately to the WIZARD). Is there something that my command line doesnt like about using the period? when I dir the drive I see the Microsoft.NET folder! but when I cd to it I get the error.

Thanks wisemx dont know how you keep up with all of us padawons

 

Hi,

How are you launching command prompt? Try going to Start..Run..."cmd" . I've seen people have this problem when they type "command" to launch the prompt.

hth!

 

you know what,? I remember that from years ago! thanks for jogging my memory I knew it was something simple! I have'nt tried it yet but I KNOW THAT IS IT!!!!

I was putting in command insstead of cmd!

 

...You might also want to use the Power Toys from Microsoft.
There's a very cool "Command Prompt here" power toy I used to be dependent on XP Pro.
(Using Softimage XSI on XP I needed to open command prompts for some of the functions.)
All the best,
