Problems if VS.NET 2002 not installed

[DHearn]

I currently only have VS 6.0 and VS.NET 2003 installed (not VS.NET 2002). The 'GAC Install' step fails with the following error:

Failed to create process: The system cannot find the path specified.

I installed the Microsoft .NET SDK 1.0 (which installs 'gacutil.exe' in the C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705 directory, but I still get the same error.

This blurb from the help should get you going:

Note: this action uses the DOTNETSDK_DIR global macro to locate the GACUtil executable (it appends bin\gacutil.exe to the path in that macro) If the action is unable to locate the executable when built, update this global macro to the path containing bin\gacutil.exe.

So, if you modify your DOTNETSDK_DIR global macro to be
<vsnet2003 install dir>\SDK\v1.1\

The method used to initialize this macro (reading the registry entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramewor k\sdkInstallRoot) doesn't work with .NET 1.1.
