Back to the top STATUS Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section. Back to the top MORE INFORMATIONSteps to reproduce the behavior| 1. | Install the .NET Framework 1.1 on a computer that is running Windows XP SP2. | | 2. | Create and then deploy a new ASP.NET Web application that is named "repro1." To do this, use the following files and code:| • | Web.config<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true" />
</system.web>
</configuration> | | • | Repro.aspx<%@ Page Language="C#" %>
<script runat="server">
void Page_Load()
{
Label1.Text = string.Format("Install Root: [{0}]",
System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeEnvironment.GetRuntimeDirectory());
Label2.Text = string.Format("System Version: [{0}]",
System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeEnvironment.GetSystemVersion());
}
</script>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp:Label id="Label1" runat="server" /><br />
<asp:Label id="Label2" runat="server" /><br />
</form>
</body>
</html>
