You need the install disk for your OS. XP, Vista, Win7, ??? IIS is free there. I don't think you need to install IIS myself. ASP.NET will work fine without IIS hosting your sites. You just have to pay attention to what needs to be done. I can do this in 2008 and 2010 without IIS. 1) Win+E 2) Find folder to assign rights to 3) Rt Click 4) Properties 5) Security Tab 6) Add button 7) Type ASPNET 8) Check Names button 9) OK 10) Allow Read or Write as needed for the new user ASPNET. > On Sep 1, 1:32 am, Cerebrus <[email protected]> wrote: >> Make your website/web application an IIS based project, rather than a >> FileSystem project.
