With prior versions (to ArcGIS 10x) of ArcGIS, the .NET wrappers used to be placed in a dotnet directory. Where are they located with 10x? With prior versions, I used the absence or presence of this directory to tell whether or not the .net framework was installed in the proper order with installation of ArcGIS. How can I tell if the .net framework was installed in the correct order with respect to ArcGIS???

I'm not certain, but I think arcgis won't install unless the .NET framework 3.5 sp1 is installed, see requirements here. – Kirk Kuykendall May 26 '11 at 18:39

You have to install the SDK seperately, so you will see a 'C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\DeveloperKit10.0' folder that has the 'DotNet' folder with the assemblies.

The .Net extension stuff is auto-installed now since ArcGIS forces a .Net version for install. So you don't need to specify it; you just need to push to install the SDK.

Interesting. So if I develop an application for another individual, does the SDK need to be installed for the other person to use it? – Michael Rut May 26 '11 at 19:34

No, because the assemblies are already in there GAC when ArcGIS is installed, these are just the version you use to write your code with. If you have a version dependency you can surely package them with your runtime, but realistically you should not need to. – D.E.Wright May 26 '11 at 19:36

There is NO difference between the assemblies installed in GAC and those shipped with the SDK. The latter are additionally installed just for convenience. – Petr Krebs May 26 '11 at 19:38

@Petr; with the exception of some of the XML supporting infomration for Intellisense and being Debug build I believe, versus release. – D.E.Wright May 26 '11 at 19:44
In case of PIAs, debug/release is irrelevant since they do not contain any executable code but merely COM import declarations (they are generated via tlbimp.exe). – Petr Krebs May 27 '11 at 9:26
