Greetings!
I am currently unemployed. In early December, we thought my wife was going
to get a job, so she approved my purchase of a modern computer that I could
run the .Net environment on and begin teaching myself. I had to keep cost
way down, so I chose the XP Home operating system. I installed Visual
Studio .Net 2002 and began porting a program I had written in VB6. I had
hoped to convert it to a Web application using ASP.Net as the next stage in
my self-training. But when I started reading about ASP.Net, I was dismayed
to learn that if I don't have XP Pro, I don't have IIS, and I can't run
ASP.Net pages. I won't have the money to upgrade to Pro until I get a job.
I just found a package of disks I got a couple years ago at a Microsoft
seminar. They included final beta versions of Everett and its MSDN disks,
and a "Microsoft Windows .Net Server 2003 Release Candidate 2 Developer
Kit". The inside of the kit's case says that it includes IIS. By any wild
chance, can this be installed on top of my XP Home without breaking
anything, giving me a server that can handle ASP.Net?
Thanks!

Rob,
win2k3 is a server os and the IIS is way different as compared to XPs IIS
what i would say is do a side by side install (ie... install it in a
seperate partition)
or take out your xp home after taking a backup and just intall win2k3.. its
really nice... and lot of fun configuring it.

You might want to look at Web Matrix which includes its own Web server to
run ASP.NET
"ASP.NET Web Matrix is supported on Windows 2000 (Professional and Server
editions) and Windows XP (Home, Professional) operating systems. You must
have IE 5.5 or greater and the .NET Framework installed. " http://www.asp.net/webmatrix/default...dex=4&tabId=46

Thanks, Ken! I already have WebMatrix. I guess I just didn't know what I

Are there any known issues with developing ASP.NET web applications directly
on Windows 2003 Server running VS.NET 2003 Pro, SQL Server client tools, and
using VSS for source control? Essentially using W2003 Server as a desktop

Hi -
I am trying to move some of my web apps from my development machine
running XP PRO SP2 to one of our Windows 2000 server boxes. I have
created a new site for each of the apps and am using Host Headers to
differentiate between them all.
In IIS, if I redirect to another server running Windows 2003 Server,
the 2.0 applications work very well.

Sorry if this is slightly OT, but I reckon there would be folks here who

I have a Windows 2003 Server box, SP4 and .NET 2.0 installed. Trouble is
that it also has .NET versions 1.0 and 1.1 installed. I would just
ignore them, but occasionally one or two of the web sites on the machine
seem to set themselves to the wrong version, and this causes errors. I
have no idea why or how this happens, but it does happen...

Up until 3 weeks ago I was running a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition Beta from home on an ADSL connection with dynamic IP absolutely fine - until the beta decided to expire.
