Installing ASP.Net 2.0 after IIS

Question

I just got a dedicated server from a hosting company, and for some reason, it didn't have IIS installed. It did have .Net 2.0, though.

So I installed IIS, but now my ASP.net websites won't work. I just get a 404, no event log entries, nothing...

I noticed in the redistributable package information that: "To access the features of ASP.NET, IIS with the latest security updates must be installed prior to installing the .NET Framework"

I also can't uninstall .Net, it just won't let me...

Is there a way to reinstall .Net 2.0, or somehow do whatever it is it does to IIS to make it work?

Thanks! Daniel

Answer 1

run from the command line

aspnet_regiis -i

You may have to navigate to the folder it was installed. Mine and the default is

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727

Answer 2

Be sure that you have enabled the extensions for asp and aspx in IIS. They are disabled by default. I'd do this before you go about uninstall more components.

Answer 3

same command you can run it from Visual Studio Command Prompt as well, then you don't need to navigate to above path
