Enabling Asp.net development on Vista 64

by OpenAccess ORM Team | Comments 3

 

Well as I figured it out it was not a complicated thing, but there are some specifics of course:

Installing IIS

By default IIS7 is included in the distribution (I use the Enterprise edition of Windows Vista), but is not installed by default. To do so open ControlPanel > Programs and Features.

On the right side of the window click the "Turn Windows features on or off" link and a dialog will open:

settings

Installing required features

You can select and check the Internet Information Services feature. By default not everything required gets selected. You have to check also the Internet Information Services>World Wide Web Services>Security> Windows Authentication and Internet Information Services>World Wide Web Services>Application Development Features> ASP.NET

This is pretty much all that you have to do to be able to run an asp.net site for example. Enjoy!

Yes you are right, it is the same with the 32bit versions, the only difference is that IIS is not provided out of the box with Vista Home editions ( I'm not sure though).

I used the new Web Platform Installer on my new Dell M6400 notebook with Vista Business x64.

Works like a charm.
