Is there a runtime version of NC0 2.10 similar to NCO 1.x. Based on the release notes, there is none. How do we then deploy it in a server? Should we have to install VS 2003?

[reiner_hille-doering]

No, but you can copy the necessary runtime files from your developer machine to your production machine(s) inside of your company. The related files are SAP.Connector.DLL, SAP.Connector.Rfc.DLL, and LIBRFC32.DLL. Please search the forum for these DLLs to get detailed instructions where to copy them.

Will the 2.0 beta work with VS.Net 2003?

[reiner_hille-doering]

Yes, (only) with VS.NET 2003. This is all written in the Release Notes file
