I am using Win XP Professional and am going to install VS.NET 2003. How do
I know if IIS 5.0 has installed pn my desktop?

Many thanks
 
Hi Peter,

You can go to Control Panel->Add Remove Programs->Windows Components and
see if Internet Information Services is checked.
I also believe there will be an Internet Information Services icon under
Control Panel->Administrative Tools if IIS is installed.

It is not installed by default.
 
Thanks. I checked according to below advise and found that IIS is checked
and icon is there. But when I try to open a ASP.NET from IDE, I get the
below message:
Visual Studio .NET has detected the specific Web server is not running
ASP.NET version 1.1. You may be unable to run ASP.NET Web application or
services.

I have no idea how to solve this. Appreciate some advise.
 
Hi Peter,

ASP.NET should be installed with Framework 1.1 which will be installed
with Visual Studio.Net
You might also need FrontPage Server extensions 2000(2002) which is s
subitem in the IIS installation folder in Add/Remove programs

I'm guessing your error is due to the web server not running.
Open the IIS icon in control panel (under administrative tools), right
click "Default Web Server" and start it.

If this doesn't help try this page
