Default What is a comand line prompt?
I need to enter something in to a comand line prompt, how do i do this?
I thought that was used only in DOS?
Is it just entered in RUN?
Thanks

My .net 1.1 sp1 update wont install and its part of the fix for it (my instructions are below) -

> This download is a self-extracting file named "dotnetredist.exe". Click
on
> it
> to obtain the "dotnetfx.exe" file. Next, from a command line prompt,
change
> to the directory containing "dotnetfx.exe" and enter:
>
> dotnetfx.exe /t:%temp% /c:"msiexec.exe /fvecms %temp%\netfx.msi"
>
> Note that the quotes are required after the /c: switch. When the
installer
> is done, invoke Windows Update and select the failed Framework Service
Pack
> for reinstall. WU should now complete and mark the update as Installed.

use cd to change directory

so "cd\" to take you to root

then "cd your\directory\here" to take you into your directory with dotnetfx.exe in

I don't think you need to use CMD for that, just write it directly into the run prompt (windows + r)
