Help on installing ASP.NET Correctly, before I mess it up

Question

User1738831244 posted

Ok, I have been have quit a few issues with ASP.net running correctly so I finally bit the bullet and reinstalled XP pro and it's clean as a whistle now and running great.  So before I get the installation sequence out of order I thought I would ask first, what is the correct sequence for installing asp.net? 

1.  I have have IIS 5.1 running now

2.  Microsoft.net Framework 2.0 is installed - (it was installed when I reinstalled my video driver) 

That's where I am at.

Do I need ASP 1.1, 2.0 sp2, 3.0 sp2 and 3.5 sp1 or can just install 3.5 sp1?  From what I understand 3.0 and 3.5 need ASP 2.0 sp2 in order to function but I am not sure.

Once I install these framework packages is that all there is to it or is there something more that needs to be configured. I am not trying to setup an internet server, just develop within ASP.net and upload to my hosting provider where ASP runs on the server.

Thanks for the help

 Hi,

Just install VS2005 or VS2008 and it will automatically install all frameworks. After installing Run/Open your VS studio and try to create a project and run it. Theirs no need to configure.

Great thanks to you all!

I am installing VS 2008.  I was using Expression Web, but I ran into a lot of trouble with it always crashing when developing  a .net site so I am switching over to VS 2008 with a fresh install so hopefully I won't run into this issue again.
