Configuring the Web Server

Configuring IIS

After installing the .NET Framework and the SDK manually, you will need to configure IIS to make it aware of ASP.NET. To do this, you need to follow a few simple steps:

1. Open the command prompt by selecting Start > All Programs > Microsoft .NET Frameworks SDK v2.0 > SDK Command Prompt.

2. Type the following command to install ASP.NET:

C:\Program Files\…\SDK\v2.0>aspnet_regiis.exe -i
Start installing ASP.NET (2.0.50727).
.........
Finished installing ASP.NET (2.0.50727).

3. Once ASP.NET is installed, close the command prompt and check again to confirm that ASP.NET installed correctly.

Running aspnet_regiis.exe

Depending on the circumstances, ASP.NET may already have been installed for you, but running aspnet_regiis.exe can’t hurt. Also, remember that you need to run this utility again in case you reinstall IIS.
