Problem installing Visual Basic.net Resource Kit

  • Thread starter Thread starter active
  • Start date Start date
A

active

When I install the kit I get the error:
No application is associated with the specified file for this operation
Cannot start http://localhost/VB.NETResourceKit/

Later, if I try to run the program short cut I get:
This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this
action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel.

The short cut points to an .aspx file and the folder options show VS.NET2003
as the app to run for aspx files.
Moreover, if I look in (localhost) the file is there.



Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

I had similar problems. Go to IIS in Control Panel and create your own
ASP.NET application that points to the ASPX file, that is the simplest and
fastest way to make it work.

I'm not sure what it means to create my own app but if I look in
control/iis/localhost/defaultwebsite/VB.NETresouceKit
I see the Welcome.aspx file.

If I Open it VS starts and displays it as a text file

If I right click the VB.ResourceKit folder and select Browse, what I think
is the Welcome.asp file opens in VS and displays as it should.
(VB.ResourceKit folder has other .aspx files - I can't image what is
happening;

You need to re-create the IIS application that setup has created for you. It
is the fastest way to make VB.NET ResKit local webpage working, without all
the mess of checking out what went wrong with VB.NETresouceKit IIS
application.

To do this, simply go to Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Internet
Information Services
Remove existing VB.NETResouceKit Virtual Directory (right click, Delete)
Add new Virtual Directory under Default Web Site:
1) right-click on Default Web Site
2) choose New->Virtual Directory
3) in wizard set alias name to VB.NETResouceKit, local path to your
VB.ResourceKit folder (probably C:\Program Files\Visual Basic .NET Resource
Kit\Application)
4) when wizard exits, right-click on newly created VB.NETResouceKit virtual
directory, select Properties
5) go to the "Documents" Tab, remove all Default Documents from the list,
add new one "Welcome.aspx"

Voila, http://localhost/VB.NETResouceKit should work now perfectly

Thanks for the detailed reply.

I tried it and still get the same error.

If I try to run the program short-cut I get:
This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this
action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel.

But if I look in the Folder Options .aspx is associated with VS.NET2003

I appeciated the effort,

Yes, .aspx is associated with VS.NET2003, because the Welcome.aspx and other
..aspx files are source files, containing .NET code for the web application.
They are interpreted and "executed" as web applications by IIS server, when
accessed via web browser. What do you get when you execute the re-created
web application from within Internet Explorer? The URL should be something
similar to http://localhost/VB.NETResouceKit or
http://localhost/VB.NETResouceKit/Welcome.aspx

If I click the first URL in your note I get the "PageCannot be found" page


If I click the second one I get:

Server Error in '/' Application.
The resource cannot be found.
Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its
dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is
temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that
it is spelled correctly.
Requested Url: /VB.NETResouceKit/Welcome.aspx
Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:1.1.4322.573; ASP.NET
Version:1.1.4322.573


Does all that mean something to you??

Thanks
Cal

PS

I just clicked the short cut on my desktop which if I show properties has
the URL
http://localhost/VB.NETResourceKit/Welcome.aspx
And got the wecome page. I don't know what's going on. Maybe it only works
on Mondays.
And why doesn't the similar URL in your note work?
Anyway it seems to be working OK now.

I don't believe I booted since I made you suggested changes but I may have -
don't know if that matters.
 
If you are using VS 2003 (.Net Framework 1.1), can you use the VB.Net Resource Kit? I recently downloaded it and found in the documentation that it requires Framework 1.0.
I couldn't get http://localhost/VB.Net Resource Kit to come up either. I just got "Server Application Unavailable".

I think this is also related to my problem of not being able to create Web Apps or Web Services with VS 2003 but I can in VS 2002.
