Install framework on web and file server?

[lawrence]

I have a web server running IIS pointing to a file server. Should the
..NET framework be installed on both the web server and the file
server?

Right now I have it installed on only the web server. <script> aspx
pages work, but I cant deploy Web applications --get a "can't load
namespace.global" error in the global.asax. I xcopied all the files
and the bin/dll.

Thanks

You only need it installed on the machine on which the code runs. If the
code is grabbing stuff from the file server, the file server doesn't need to
have the platform.

My first guess would be a security problem.
By default ASP.NET runs under the ASPNET user account.
This account does not have network privileges by default.
The global.asax is pretty much the first page loaded under normal
circumstances, and it can't be accessed.
