Unregistered DLL in W2K3 Server Standard. IMPORTANT for .NET

​ Sorry if this has been posted already: ​

​ ​

​ It seems that in Dell's slipstream compressed 2K3 + Sp1 image installed on many servers (I know for sure: PowerEdge SC420, SC430, 1750, 1800) that there is an incorrect registry value. This can cause nightmares for some .NET applications or for developers who code in .NET. ​

​ ​

​ SOLUTION: ​

​ ​

​ Registering 'mscorsec.dll' will fix this problem. ​

​ ​

​ To register the file, START > RUN ​

​ ​

​ regsvr32 c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v1.1.4322\mscorsec.dll ​

​ ​

​ This will register the file successfully. ​

​ ​

​ ​

​ History of problem: ​

​ ​

​ PowerEdge servers we received from August 24 - Present have displayed this problem. Servers received prior to August 24 do not display this problem. ​

​ ​

​ After installing our proprietary point of sale .NET based application, I noticed that an important feature of our software (real-time maps) did not function properly. Instead, the pop-up window that displays the map came up with a large '.NET is not installed correctly' error. ​

​ ​

​ After spending 2 days with Microsoft Lead Techs, we figured out the problem was an incorrect registry value which was a result of an incorrectly registered .dll. Re-registering the .dll solved the problm. ​

​ ​

​ Just a heads up for those of you using .NET apps. ​
