Error talking to IIS

I am trying to install windows addition of CS but get the following message when
loaded the software.

On my laptop I am running XP, Sql Server Express, Visual Web Developer and have
the .net framework installed.

Can aynbody help?

 

thanks

Do you have IIS installed.  This is done by going to Add/Remove Programs
(appwiz.cpl) and choosing the Windows Components button.  Then you can install
it from there.  You may need to go into your
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 folder and from the cmd prompt
runaspnet_regiis -i

You can also access IIS from start->run and type inetmgr


Another option if you just want to check Community Server out is to download the
demo package, as it does not require IIS. 

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply.

I checked in the windows programs and the square icon is highlighted in blue
which I think means it is.

Also Net framework version 3 is installed but I also have the folder below where
you said.

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 

 I am not sure how to get the cmd prompt though?

Hi

 

I  am also running windows Vista. would this be a factor as to why it wont load?


Should I run it on XP?

 

thanks

Yes, I would run it on XP.  I know that it will run on Vista, but at this point
it has not been widely tested on Vista.  Also, when I was using Vista for any
ASP.NET programs, like Community Server, I had to do something funky in IIS to
get ASP.NET to work correctly.  So I would recommend running it on XP, or even
2003 if you have access to that.
