Walkthrough: Creating a Dist. App. - problems creating project

Hi,

I am trying to go thru the Dist. App. walk through and cannot create the
project. Due to company restrictions, I cannot install IIS on my machine. I
downloaded and installed Cassini to work around that issue. Now when I
attempt to create the project, I get the following error (Cassini is
running): "Visual Studio .NET cannot create or open the application. The
likeliest problem is that required components are not installed on the local
Web server. Run Visual Studio .NET setup and add the Web Development
component." Setup will not allow me to install the Web Dev component because
IIS is not installed on my machine.

How do I work around this and create the project and go through the
Walkthrough?

Thanks,
Gary

Friend,

If your company wants you developing .NET applications, tell them that they
need to trust you enough to allow you to install IIS on your dev
workstation. I understand the restriction for ordinary client computers,
but I, and many of the folks I know, don't write software on Windows XP
Pro... I use a server OS like Windows 2003 Server as my dev workstation,
with a bunch more OS bits installed (like MSMQ, Sharepoint, etc). I'm an
admin on my own machine. On the other hand, I'm held to a higher level of
responsibility if I download software or viruses from the Internet.

Your company probably already has a policy (that you may not be aware of) to
allow software developers to manage different workstation environments than
typical users, with restrictions based on honesty instead of enforcement.
If they don't, now is the time to challenge the issue.

Good Luck,
---- Nick
