asp.net configuration question

[barry]

I have VSTO 2005 and am not able to get ASP.NET Configuration under the
Website menu to work. It just shows a not found page and comes back to where
I executed it from.

My question is can I download the Visual Web Developer Express 2005 at the
same time the VSTO 2005 version is loaded to see if ASP.NET Configuration
would work in the Visual Web Developer Express 2005.

I realize this is not a solution but am curious to see if I can get ASP.NET
Configuration to work at all.

thanks

You should have no problems installing them side-by-side and seeing if
things work, but that is probably not the issue. What OS are you using? If
XP Home, you will not have a web server and will have to run the .NET web
server from command line prior to trying to hit anything. You will also have
to configure VSTO to point to the port it runs under.

If XP Pro, make sure you have IIS installed. If not, install and then run
aspnet_regiis /i

I am xp Pro and IIS is installed. I did download the express version and you
were correct the ASP.NET Configuration gave the same results.
I would like to try aspnet_regiis /i but looking at the internet it warns
against possible corruption if you have more than one version
of visual studio installed and I do. I have 2.0 and 1.1.

Is there another switch beside the /i to use to point to 2.0.

thanks

re:

Don't believe all you read.

You can run the aspnet_regiis tool without a problem
if you have both 2.0 and 1.1 installed.

Just make sure you run each tool from its own directory :

Drive:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322
Drive:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727

You can also run aspnet_regiis -i , instead of aspnet_regiis /i

Also, get Denis Bauer's free ASP.NET Version Switcher

http://www.denisbauer.com/NETTools/ASPNETVersionSwitcher.aspx

It will make your life a lot easier when switching applications
to run under a different ASP.NET version, whether 1.0, 1.1 or 2.0.

Juan, I ran the aspnet_regiis -i from the 2.0 directory and it complete
successfully. But when I ran the ASP.NET configuration I got the same
results. I must of done something at one time on my machine to cause this. I
notice that no one else seems to have this problem.

thanks anyway.

Juan, I ran the aspnet_regiis -i from the 2.0 directory but when I ran the
ASP.NET configuration from within an asp.net project I got the same results.
I guess I must have done something to my machine at one time. I notice no
one else on the net seems to be having this problem.

Did you run the aspnet_regsql utility before running webadmin ?

It's in the same directory as the aspnet_regiis utility.

You must run it, from a command window, since it creates the DB required for Membership.
