newbie: installing asp.net/mdac
-
I'm transitioning into asp.net developmnent and need to properly install asp.net and mdac... IIS is already installed on a server on the network. Development will be done on a seperate development pc connected to the network using VS.NET. sorry for the dumb question, but do asp.net and mdac get installed on the web server or the development machine...?? Looked around on the microsoft site for an overview of how this is done, but had no luck... The development pc has vs.net 2003 and .net framwork 1.1 currently installed. Just don't know where to install asp.net and mdac 2.7 thanks for the help

The short answer to your question is BOTH. The reason being that you want your development box to mimic what your production box will be doing. In that case, you need to install IIS, .NET framework, and MDAC on both boxes. P.S. If you havent gone into your project too deeply, I suggest using MDAC 2.8 that just came out.

Thanks for the reply... So it's standard practice to install these components on both the development machine and the server...??? I can't understand why you'd install IIS on your development machine when it's already installed on the web server on your network... I can point my dev environment to the virtual dir on the web server so I'd be interested in knowing what I'd gain by doing this... I'm more interested in the proper location of the asp.net and mdac.... thanks for any further explanation.... vince
