IIS and Frontpage extentions...Where do I get them?

[Rob Miller]

I have just bought a copy of Visual Studio.net. To write
and test Web applications my notes tell me I need to
install Internet Information services (IIS) and Frontpage
extensions.
Where can I get these? I have installed VS.net on a
Windows XP machine. I would assume the above should be
downloadable to developers... so we can develop???

Windows XP Home? You have a problem.
Windows XP Pro? Pull out the install CD for Windows and go to COntrol Panel

Add/Remove Programs >> Add/Remove Windows components.

That solves the IIS problem. NOw, you will have to use aspnet_regiis /i (use
the Visual Studio .NET command prompt or you will have to go into the .NET
folder under your C:\Windows folder and find this command line tool). This
registers ASP.NET in IIS.

FrontPage extensions can be installed from the VS.NET prerequisites CD. You
can also download them from the download section of
www.microsoft.com/office.
