I do not have access to this. Hence, I do not know. Is there anyway to tell what version it is running?

@Natrium: you did notice the title of the question, right? ;o)

Fredrik Mörk 2009-06-03 14:04:56

yeah, I noticed. But perhaps not the installation is the problem, but the configuration in IIS.

Natrium 2009-06-03 14:06:46

From the error message, does it seem like a problem with the version, or could I have my settings wrong someplace.

Here is a post from MSDN:

I don't have access to check in those areas. However, from the errors does it seem like it is a problem with the version?

It's hard to tell from the data that you have available to you. You will need to ask your Network Admin to check the versioning and updates for you if you don't have access.

In reference to the fact that is says at the bottom of your error message that you are in .Net 2.05, there really isn't an ASP.net 3.0 or 3.5. All .Net 3.5 code runs under the heading of Asp.Net 2.0. .Net 3.0 and 3.5 are just additional features really. So, you can't tell by that.

Answer 3

A:

I would start by publishing the site without pre-compilation first. If it still does not work, then work with your web admin to check the following:

You can see which versions of .net are installed by looking in:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework

You should have a folder for every version of the framework installed, for example:

v1.0.3705
v1.1.4322
v2.0.50727
v3.0
v3.5

If IIS was installed after .net 2.0, you may need to run aspnet_regiis to install or repair the .net IIS installation:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis -i

Please note that in IIS you will only see v1.1.4322 and v2.0.50727 in the framework dropdown (.net v3 and v3.5 use the v2.0 runtime). Your site will need v2.0.50727 selected.

You will also want to make sure that the account your web app is running under (usually Network Service on servers) has the correct permissions on the folder that contains your web app files (read should be sufficient for your test).

If you do not have access rights to the deployment server, best way to learn the framework version which your application running is to look at the bottom of the common ASP.NET error page. You can find the Framework version like that :

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.3053; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.3053

Pefect, exactly what I was looking for. Mine does in fact say 2.0.5.... However, that should be that 3.5 should work as it uses the 2.0 runtime correct?

Jason 2009-06-03 14:29:36

Yes, if it says 2.0 you asp.net application is running under asp.net 2.0.

Answer 5

A:

The problem actually was that our web admins set up the site at a higher directory then what I thought. Therefore, when I published the site, the bin folder was not at the root of the site. That is why the files could not be found.
