ASP.NET under with IIS 4.0, is it possible ?

[Jean-Francois Hamelin]

Hi,

I have to support some Windows NT 4.0 (SP6a) legacy installation running IIS
4.0 with my ASP.NET web services, is it possible ? When I install the .NET
framework 1.1 redistribution the
C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspnet_isapi.dll is not present.

Thanks
JF

ASP.Net requires IIS 5 or better.

Hi JF,


Thanks for posting in the community!
From your description, you'd like to using ASP.NET1.1 on a NT sever mahcine
with IIS4 installed,yes?
If there is anything I misunderstood, please feel free to let me know.

Based on my research, I think Kevin's suggestion is quite correct. The
ASP.NET required IIS5 or higher version. And here is the description from
the doc:
---------------------------------------
Server Installation Requirements
If you have been directed to do a server installation, you must have the
following software installed in addition to the typical installation
requirements:

Internet Information Services (IIS) version 5.0 or later. To access the
features of ASP.NET, IIS with the latest security updates must be installed
prior to installing the .NET Framework.
ASP.NET is supported only on the following platforms: Microsoft Windows
2000 Professional (Service Pack 3 recommended), Microsoft Windows 2000
Server (Service Pack 3 recommended), Microsoft Windows XP Professional, and
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 family.

I notice that the dot net framework appears in windows update on NT4
servers. Never tried installing it though.

The .Net Framework is capable of running a lot more than ASP.Net. It also
runs executables, services, etc., which don't require any version of any web
server. That is why you can install the Framework on NT 4, but not ASP.Net.
