VB.NET Resource Kit Installation Problem

[Jim]

I just installed the VB.NET Resource Kit and it completed
successfully. However, when I try to open the 'Visual
Basic .NET Resource Kit' web page, I get an error.

address: http://localhost/VB.NETResourceKit/Welcome.aspx

page: "The page cannot be found"

I have uninstalled and reinstalled numerous time with the
same result. Any ideas what to do next?

Thanks,

Jim

do you have a iis installed? (normally you have to install iis before you
install visual studio if you want to host(run) aspx pages)

if you have make sure that the directory the file is in is registered in the
iis

hope it helps

Hi Jim,

They made this page for it.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/vbr...q/#installvdir

I hope you find it.

Yes, I have IIS installed and ASP.NET

I believe the problem is somehow related to the fact that
the web server will only show http://LocalHost/ locations
if they are physically under C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\ directory.

Could this be a security settings issue?

Cor,

Thanks, but I've already checked the FAQ and that is not
the problem. My install completed without error...

Hi Jim,

You can try this things I think, put the Url just in your browser, or even,
push on the Url it in this message.

http://localhost/VB.NETResourceKit/Welcome.aspx

if not try it with this one

http://127.0.0.1/VB.NETResourceKit/Welcome.aspx

if not

check what is are the security settings for

C:\Program Files\Visual Basic .NET Resource Kit\Application

Just some thoughts

Thanks, but I've already checked the FAQ and that is not

you need to run an exe in your <systemroot>\Microsoft.NET\<framework version> folder named
aspnet_regiis.exe

At the command line, type

aspnet_regiis -i

this will re-install ASP.NET into IIS.

I did all that you seem to have done in contact with MS and nothing
worked until they told me to uninstall/reinstall IIS, which did work
Good luck

i've heard of that :/
normally you can right click on a folder and make it availeble online (like
network sharing but then the online part) this should work it registers the
folder under your iis. but i'm talking win xp pro here. i don't know w os
you are using.

hope it helps

Hi all,

Edit urlscan.ini (%windir%\system32\inetsrv\urlscan\urlscan.ini usually)
with notepad. Find the line for the AllowDotInPath item in the [options]
section. Change it to 1 from 0 (the default). Save the changes and restart
IIS.

I found this on Duncan MacKenzie's site.

It worked for me, and I did not have to fiddle with IIS Lockdown or do any
reinstalls.

Well, I finally got it to work. I had to remove the files
from the microsoft IIS lockdown utility. Then re-install
IIS. My gut feeling is that the microsoft IIS lockdown
utility set some parameter that limited web pages to be
under C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\ directory.

Thanks to everyone for all of your suggestions.

Jim
