Where is the .Net Configuration Tool (mscorcfg.msc) in Windows 7?

Question

I am having trouble running a website on my new Windows 7 machine, and I think the issue is solved by setting the runtime security policy to Full Trust, however I can't find that tool anywhere on my machine

I can't find it in Control Panel, the %systemroot%\Microsoft.Net\Framework\ folders doesn't have it, and I can't even find it in the Windows 7 SDK. Can someone help me find this setting before I go insane?

Answer 1

According to MSDN mscorcfg was removed with the .NET framework 4.0.

You might try to install an older .NET Framework redist to get it back..

Installing .NET Framework 2.0 SDK should bring the file back:

In the .NET Framework versions 1.0 and 1.1, Mscorcfg.msc is installed with the NET Framework redistributable package. In the .NET Framework 2.0 and later versions, Mscorcfg.msc is installed with the .NET Framework 2.0 Software Development Kit (SDK).

Regarding your problem, you might want to have a look at the security changes made in the .NET framework 4.0

Answer 2

You have to download the .NET Framework 2.0 Software Development Kit (SDK) (x86)

For those who cannot execute the setup.exe (my case on Windows 10 1909) :

Just extract it with 7zip and launch install.exe. Then, the utility should be located here :

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft.NET\SDK\v2.0\Bin\mscorcfg.msc
