Mage.exe standalone usage

Question

I'm developing a sample where I use Octopus Deploy to configure and create a clickonce package upon installation and I'm having some problems using mage.exe on the 'production' machine. I've included mage.exe and mageui.exe, but I get the following error when using mage.exe

ERROR:

So my question is what dependencies are needed to run mage.exe, without installing the .NET Framework SDK?

Answer 1

I managed to figure out the problem using FUSLOGVW.exe. I've copied mage.exe and mageui.exe from .NET Framework 4.5, which is not installed in a Windows 2008 Server by default. Taking mage from .NET 4.0 solved the problem.
