It's not really the SDK you need but the .NET framework.
I would not do this to a machine that you care about though......
from the Visual Studio .Net Readme
Stephen.
=================================
2.3 Configuring a Web server for Visual Studio.NET
To work with Web applications in Visual Studio.NET, your development
computer and Web server (which might be the same computer) must be
properly configured.
Requirements
The following lists the operating system requirements for working with
Web Forms and Web Services in Visual Studio.NET:
The Web server (which can be your local computer) must be running
Windows 2000 or Windows XP. You cannot use a computer running Windows
95, Windows 98, Windows ME, or Windows NT 4.0 as a Web server (that is,
Personal Web Server and IIS 4.0 are not supported).
It is recommended, but not required, that the Web server be installed on
a computer formatted with the NTFS file system. However, FAT and FAT32
are supported.
The Web server must be running Internet Information Server (IIS) version
5.0 or later. If the Web server is running Windows 2000, be sure that
you have installed IIS. For details see Setup\WebServer.htm on Visual
Studio.NET CD1 or DVD.
Configuring the Server Computer
If you are developing on one computer with Visual Studio.NET but want to
deploy your Web applications to a separate Web server computer, you must
configure the server computer properly. Doing so requires installation
of some Visual Studio.NET components on the Web server computer.
Note If you are using your development computer as the Web server, you
do not need to follow this procedure; installing Visual Studio.NET on
your computer configures it properly.
To configure a separate Web server computer for Visual Studio.NET
Run Visual Studio.NET setup on the Web server computer and perform Step
1 to install the Windows Component Update.
This installs the .NET Framework on the server computer. When this step
is complete, the setup process returns to Step 2 of the Visual
Studio.NET installation.
Start Step 2 of the setup process. In the left pane of the setup window
are a number of options for the installation. You should:
Clear the selection of all options except Server Components.
Expand the Server Components node and select Web Development and Remote
Debugger.
Then click Install Now to proceed with installation.
Verify that FrontPage Server Extensions are configured. For details, see
Setup\WebServer.htm on Visual Studio.NET CD1 or DVD.

Subject: OT: ASPX Files
Some of my developers are starting to work with Visual Studio.NET
They are creating ASPX files and having some issues getting them to work
Someone has suggested that we need to install the .NET SDK on a web
server to get them to work correctly.
My question is:
Are any of you using .NET yet, and do you need the SDK to make these
documents work correctly?
