Hi, I need to create a box for software development.
The following should be installed to the box:

Windows 2000 Server
Hardware such as Network card, printer, Modem,USB,Graphic card, Video card
and etc.
IIS (should be installed with Win 2000 Server?)
MDAC 2.7
SQL Server 2000
Windows 2000 Server updates (sp4 and all others that may need)
Visual Studio 6.0
Visual Studio .Net 2003
Firewall
MS Office, Outlook Express, Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, FrontPage.
Norton Anti virus
CorelDraw
Photoshop

Can anyone tell me the installation sequence?
Sepecially the windows updates and VS.Net, which should be first?

Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Just a couple of points...

- MDAC 2.7 will be isntalled when you install .NET.
- Make sure you install Visual Studio .NET after IIS. Otherwise, you'll
have to tinker around to get ASPX pages to work properly.

Other than that, I'm not sure if there is any difference in the order (other
than the OS has to be installed first :-).

I should have been more specific as to MDAC 2.7. MDAC is installed when you
install VS.NET (as part of the "pre-requisites" or Windows Components Update
CD - or whatever they're calling it these days).

Thank you Jeff!
Do you or anyone have experienced that some troubles occurred after windows
update? I have experience something that I doubt are windows updated related
such as the web application created by asp.net could not be open or create.
That's why I ask if it is better to update windows first.
Regards,
CM

Windows updates then VS 6 then VS.NET then VS patches and SPs.

Only reason I say updates to the OS first is that some with scramble the
VS.NET install and your'll just end up reinstalling it. Also patch IIS first
as well. THe latest security updates will break the link between VS and IIS.
Screws up asp.net development.

-Enjoy!!

I say again ;]

THe latest security updates will break the link between VS and IIS.
Screws up asp.net development.

In order to open or create a asp.net app you need to be able to connect to
IIS on the box. THe security updates will hose that link. We ran into it at
my company, ticked me off 1 hr reinstall of VS to fix it =p

-Enjoy!!
