impact of framework installation

[patrick doocey]

I'm about to start developing an ASP.net application for a client, who
wishes the application to be implemented on an existing server.

The problem I face, is that the vendor of an existing application (or
more accurately, the application database - an MS SQL Server) on this
server, has said that it does not support dotnet, and "might not be
able to support systems where the .NET framework is installed. It
affects the OS and system..."

I'm pretty sure this is a bit over cautious on their part, and I'd
like proof! Can anyone verify that installation of the framework has
minimal impact on the OS? Or possibly point me towards something that
documents the actual changes that installation of the framework makes.
Something published by MS would be excellent, but I haven't been able
to find any.

Unfortunately, installing my application on a new server is not an
option at this point.

Any help or comments greatly appreciated.

Hi Patrick,

I believe 133MHz and 128MB RAM is required on the server side, as well as
few other things, but if their server does not meet these requirements I'd
say it was time to upgrade.
