Issues with VS Orcas Beta 1 VPC and ASP.NET

Here are a few on my own notes to help you going...

I. Enable IIS in Windows 2003 !!!!

  • Check and if need, Install Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0:
  • Run Ad/Remove Programs:
    • Open the Windows Components Wizard.
    • Under Components, click Application Server, and then click Details.
    • In the Application Server dialog box, under Subcomponents of Application Server, click Internet Information Services (IIS), and then click Details.
    • In the Internet Information Services (IIS) dialog box, under Subcomponents of Internet Information Services (IIS), do either of the following:
    • To add optional components, select the check box next to the component that you want to install.
    • To remove optional components, clear the check box next to the component that you want to remove.
    • Click OK until you return to the Windows Component Wizard.
    • Verify that ASP.Net is checked and if not, check it and proceed with installation.Click Next, and then click Finish.
