Hello! I am installing Visual Studio Enterprise Architect 2002 on xp home sp3. In order to use the product I need to get IIS installed .
My question: Do I really need IIS? Or would one of the following work : Cassin Web Server For Net 1.1, ASP.Net MVC1, Microsoft Web Platform Installer ( I have Microsoft Visual Web Developer Express also on the machine)..or should
I use some of the server software I got with Visual Studio-Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 Developer Version,Host Integration Server 2000 Developer Version, Commerce Server 2000 eveloper Version, BizTalk Server 2000 Developer Version, Windows 2000 Server.
I would like to have the full use of all the features of Enterprise Architect to do ASP.Net projects and write other apps, such as C# probably desktop, but maybe distributed. I do not want to spend a lot of time on a project only to find out I
should have had IIS from the beginning.
Do I need XP Professional?
I understand that 2002 is no longer supported, but I got a deal on a brand new shrink wrapped full retail box. Most developers have 2002 or 2003 installed along with newer versions, so I am not alone.
Another question ; Since I purchased Visaul Studio 2002 new, Am I entitled to free installation support?
