Web Deployment Project - .net version

[gerry]

I am using a Web Deployment Project to create a web app installation
package.
Everything work peachy with one exception - the installed site is always
configured to use .net 1.1 instead of .net 2.0
I am assuming that the site is actually just defaulting to the default
version

Anyone know how to force the installation package to configure the site to
be version 2.0 ?

Hi Gerry,

Welcome again.

As for the IIS version setting for the ASP.NET application, it is actually
controled by the IIS metabase setting(the application extension mapping
configured for each virtual directory or the root IIS site). And normally
virtual directory will inherit the setting from IIS site's root. To
configure this, if you've installed .net framework 2.0, in IIS config
manager(inetmgr), we can use the "ASPNET" tab in the virtual directory's
property dialog to configure it. And for programmatic configuration, you
can use the "aspnet_regiis.exe" tool to swtich the version for a certain
IIS virtual directory(by specifying the metabase path):
#How to: Configure ASP.NET Applications for an ASP.NET Version
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib.../1kdfe21k.aspx

#ASP.NET IIS Registration Tool (Aspnet_regiis.exe)
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/k6h9cz8h.aspx

Therefore, if you want to add the version configuring function in the web
application's setup package, we can use a batch or script file or create
process to execute the aspnet_regiis.exe tool( of the certain .net version).

Hope this helps.

Hi Steven,
Thanks for the reply

As jacky stated, this can be set via script assuming that you know which
site you are dealing with.
As far as i am concerned, the entire website setup is controlled by the iis
metabase , so why we have to explicitely set the site as a 2.0 site for a
site that the setup project knows in advance is a 2.0 site seems like a
'simple' oversight - albeit one that has now been there through 2 major
releases.

Hi Gerry,

Thanks for the respone and nice to see you again:).

Yes, I can understand the concern you mentioned that it may be a bit
oversight to make the additional IIS ASP.NET version mapping setting.
However, I think this is somewhat due to the separation between our ASP.NET
application and the IIS application virtual directory/website setting. As
we know, IIS application virtual directory or website can host other raw
web applications other than ASP.NET, so it make the ASP.NET configuration
just one of the IIS virtual dir(application) setting. Also, in addition to
use web setup project, we can also simply deploy application through batch
file or script file in command line, in such scenario, it's also very
convenient to execute the aspnet_regiis command to configure the version
setting.

Anyway, I think it'll be a good feature if the webset up project can
include an option for automatically configure the version on target
application dir.

Please feel free to let me know if there's anything else we can help.
