.NET, Personal Web Servers and XP
-
Hi guys, I have installed .NET Beta 2 and I am having a little bit of a problem... I am running XP Home Edition, which installed ok and runs very well. However I don't have any form of Personal Web Server or IIS installed. I am familiar with PWS from windows 98 and IIS in relation to NT 4.0. Question is should I really switch from the Home Edition of XP to the Pro version? Or is there something I can download/buy to install a Web Server on my machine? I really am eager to play around with .NET, as I am a freelancer who needs to keep up-to-date with this stuff. Hope someone can help out, Nick Lewis

TRy downloading Xitami web server [it's free] I am not sure it supports ASP though. Maybe it has some module to support ASP Nish Sonork ID 100.9786 voidmain www.busterboy.org If you don't find me on CP, I'll be at Bob's HungOut

As you found, IIS only comes with XP Pro. I don't think you can do ASP.NET applications without IIS though. I've seen a few mentions of doing remoting without IIS, but I don't think I've seen anything for ASP.NET. A quick search on the DOTNET mailing list turned up no matches, but there are some combinations I didn't try out. James Sonork ID: 100.11138 - Hasaki
