.Net enabled server

[Alice Z.]

Hi, friends

Does anyone know where can I find a free .net enabled server for
developing VB.net web application on windows XP home edition? I searched
web but no clue.

Thank you in advance.

You can run .NET apps on Windows XP Home edition.

If you want to run ASP.NET apps, like aspx or asmx files, then you will need
a webserver that can host the ASP.NET runtime. IIS is one such, but does
not run on XP Home. For dev purposes I suggest you examine cassini, which
is available at www.asp.net . It can be used as a host for ASP.NET, it is
lightweight and runs on XP Home.

If you are not looking for this sort of server, then can you elaborate?
What do you mean by "free .NET enabled server" ?

Luck and good cheer,

is IIS free or is at add-on? Where can we find it?

IIS is a part of some editions of Windows.
It is "free" in the sense that if you are licensed to run Windows, then you
are licensed to run IIS.

IIS is optionally installed and enabled.
It runs on NT4, Windows 2000 Pro or Windows 2000 Server,
Windows XP Pro, and Windows 2003 Server.
It does not run on Windows XP Home.

You will find it on the Windows CD.
To install it, I think you need to go into
Start....Control Panel....Add or Remove Programs....
and select "Add or Remove Windows Components".
[This works for XP but I am sure it is different for other editions]

Consult the docs for your OS for more info.

There are also newsgroups dedicated to IIS.

Is there anywhere on the Internet where we can download it?

[Dino Chiesa [Microsoft]]

Nope. I don't think so!
Do you have windows? If you have an OEM-installed version of Windows you
probably have the CAB files in c:\windows\options\cabs or something like
that.

If you have a corp-installed version, then someone probably has the CDROM.

If you installed it yourself, then... you have the CDROM.
