How to Install the .NET Runtime Optimization Service

Wednesday, April 18 2007

I tried installing ASP.NET AJAX on a VPC image today but, got a message telling me the install ended prematurely. I ran into this exact problem a couple months ago but forgot how I fixed it, so I reverted to Google. I quickly found this forum post that instantly reminded me of what the issue was: I didn't have the .NET Runtime Optimization Service installed (how this isn't part of my VPC image I'm not sure). BTW, if you do have it installed it's the first one in your services list.

Having also forgotten how I got that service installed the last time, I Googled again and found this KB article, which shows how to install the .NET Runtime Optimization Service if it's not already. Simply open a command prompt and type the following:

%WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\mscorsvw.exe -i

Problem solved!

Oh, and now I'm pretty sure my issue with Paint.NET's optimization is definitely related to my VPC not having the .NET Runtime Optimization Service installed at the time. My apologies to the Paint.NET team.
