Heres my scenario: Reformatted, installed Win2003 Set up IIS 6 and Streaming Media services Installed Office 2000, VS 6, SQL Server 2000 Installed VS.NET 2003 Attempted VS.NET 2002 and got the following warning (basicall) Visual Studio .NET is not compatible with this version of Windows. Enable ASP and Frontpage Server Extensions. The support link to do the ASP and FPSE enabling is <A HREF="http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q329473";>http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q329473</A> It instructed me to do some configuration in the Web Service Extensions node of the IIS manager, where I needed to add a new extension for the ASP.NET v1.0.3705 and aspnet_isapi.dll of the same version. Since the 1.0 framework is not on the machine, I ran the windows component update portion of the VS.NET 2002 installation, then did as the Q article suggested. I also had to set a MIME type for .tmp extensions, text/plain in the HTTP Headers portion of the web site properties. Attempted to install again and the same warning came up, I chose to ignore them and proceed, the setup rolled back after about 75% completion. I've also tried installing VS.NET 2002 on another Win2003 machine before installing VS2003 but the same warning comes up, even after doing as the Q sugges ted. So, if you have a good routine that works for you, please post the steps. Ron
