ASP.net and XP Professional

Does the .net framework come with Windows XP Professional so that ASP.net can be used right out of the box?

It looks like I can just download the:

Microsoft .NET Framework Version 1.1 Redistributable Package

and set the web site to run the dll(s)?

Any general comments appreciated.

The .NET Framework only comes pre-installed on Windows Server 2003, but is available as a free download from Windows Update. If you want to try ASP.NET, make sure that you first have IIS installed on Windows XP. If you install IIS after ASP.NET, the ASP.NET-related file types (aspx, asmx, asax, etc.) will not be registered with IIS and ASP.NET applications will not run. This is easy to fix by running aspnet_regiis.exe from your .NET Framework directory*, but it's easier just to install in the correct order.

* By default, this is C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322.

I just wanted to say that this also worked for myslef while using IIS 5.0 ASP.NET 2.0 and Visual Studio Web Developer Express 2005. I couldn't beleive this did the trick, but it did!!! I had installed IIS 5.0 on 2000 Pro after I installed ASP.NET 2.0 and ran into lots of unexplained errors. THIS FIX NEEDS TO BE POSTED SOMEWHERE ON MICROSOFTS SITE!!!!

Make sure to run this from C:\%systemfolder%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727

I am still in shock and awe that this fixed my problems....

This is a documented problem. ASP.NET needs to register with IIS to leverage the power of .NET.

If IIS is not installed earlier, this registration does not occur and your ASP.NET applications will not execute.

This has been captured in a MIcrosoft Knowledge Base article at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;306005
