We have two (2) workstations and one (1) server.
All are running Windows 2000 Professional (not "Server").
Have NOT loaded Visual SourceSafe Server yet, but intend to.
Loaded VS.NET and IIS on the server.
(Note: I realize that I didn't have to install VS.NET *on* the server, but I
wanted the ability to test stuff directly there)
Loaded VS.NET on a workstation, but did NOT install IIS.
(Note: The installation procedure led me to believe that I did not need IIS
on the workstation, as long as it was installed on the server.)
I mapped a drive letter from the server to my workstation.
I can open up a project/solution just fine on the server directly.
But when I try to open it up from the workstation, I get the error:
"Visual Studio .NET cannot create or open the application because no Web
server was detected at this URL: 'http://localhost/WebApplication1'. Make
sure the Web server is installed and running."
<ok> <help>
Clicking "help" instructs me to install IIS on the workstation.
I would like to avoid this if at all possible due to very stringent security
rules at my workplace. Please advise. Thank you.
(P.S. If having IIS on the workstation is not "necessary", but *is* "highly
desirable" from a functionality point-of-view, then I will have to request an
extra computer.)
