VS.NET 2003 and Whidbey on same box
I did attempt to install Whidbey on my laptop which had
VS.NET 2003 ( Operating System Win 2003)
Installation
had no problems but an attempt to open existing VS.NET
2003 applications gave following message
"Visual Studio has detected that ASP.NET aplications
and services are locked down in IIS. You can run the IIS
Security Lockdown Wizard to change lockdown status"
The solution I could think of was aspnet_regiis -i which
didnt seem to work :(
Not thinking much on the error
message i made a thoughtful decision of keeping VS.NET
2003 and whidbey on different boxes
Though recently I decided to try the same thing again
Not to my surprise I got the same messages when opening the projects developed using VS.NET 2003
This what i had read sometime back
i.e for running
.NET Framework side by side one would need to do manual
configuration as by default all IIS virtual webs get
associated with the newest Framework version
All i could think again was of utility aspnet_regiis
So the steps I tried this time were
Step 1: Go to the folder C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\<latest version folder>
run aspnet_regiis.exe -u
Step 2: Go to the folder
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322
run aspnet_regiis.exe -i
And this worked out just fine
So right now
VS.NET 2003 works without any problem
Whidbey too works without any issues
Has anyone
come across issues having VS.NET 2003 and Whidbey on same
box
Any views on the above or is what I tried
correct?
