# Running The Regulator on .Net 1.0

By Roy Osherove March 19, 2004 In [.Net Original](https://osherove.com/blog/category/net-original)

**Historical article** · Originally published March 19, 2004; technical details may be outdated.

Up until now, The Regulator could only run on .Net 1.1. Now you can run it against .Net 1.0 using this config file:

[http://royo.is-a-geek.com/regulator.exe.zip](http://royo.is-a-geek.com/regulator.exe.zip)

just put it in along with the regulator.exe file and run.

I took the config settings from [Jeff Key's Snippet Compiler config file](http://www.sliver.com/dotnet/SnippetCompiler/), since he was having the same problem with his users. So, thanks Jeff.

The config file actually redirects all the main .Net assemblies in v1.1 to word on the v1.0 Assemblies. Pretty cool.

If you want to learn more about how this works, you can check out this cool article from early & adopter about running the two frameworks side by side, and redirecting between them:

[Early & Adopter on: Running Multiple Versions of the Framework Side-by-Side](http://www.3leaf.com/resources/articles/sbs.aspx)

It's really quite a funny article, but lots of great info. Recommended.
