Install VS 2012 Command Prompt

Question

User-595641371 posted

Hi,

VS2012 Command Prompt needs to be installed for deploying DLL into GAC.  It needs to be install without installing Visual Studio 2012, since this is Production Server.

We ran VS2012 installation wizard and looking for an option install only SDK tools option, but no such option exists in the wizard.

Is there a way to install only Vs2012 command prompt without installing VS 2012?

or

any way to deploy DLL into GAC other than via VS2012 command prompt?

Hi whizkidgps

It needs to be install without installing Visual Studio 2012

I'm afraid that you need install Visual Studio 2010/2012/2013 first before install Command Prompt,

For Visual Studio 2013 in Windows 8 or Windows 8.1          

1. On the Start screen, type Visual Studio, and then choose Visual Studio Tools. (To access the Start screen, press the Windows logo key on your keyboard.)

2. In File Explorer, choose Developer Command Prompt for VS2013.

For Visual Studio 2012 in Windows 8 or Windows 8.1          

• On the Start screen, type Developer Command, and then choose Developer Command Prompt for VS2012. (To access the Start screen, press the Windows logo key on your keyboard.)

For Visual Studio (any version) in Windows 7          

• Choose Start, and then choose All Programs, Microsoft Visual Studio, Visual Studio Tools, Visual Studio Command Prompt.

Hi Angie,

Thanks for your reply....I want to deploy DLL into GAC without installing Visual Studio 2012.

The reason for raising above request that, we have deployed the DLL in GAC thru Visual Studio Command Prompt in our stage server. 

In case of production, Visual studio should not be installed. How can we make DLL Deployment in GAC when we don't have Visual Studio command prompt?

Please help me on this..
