vb.net resource kit

[Rod Snyder]

Has anyone else had problems installing the vb.net resource kit? I
downloaded and installed but I get 404s when it launches. It looks like it
set up sites in IIS and it should be running properly through the web
server.

Hi Rod,

I'm sure it's no comfort. I installed it and now my localhost is dead. The Resource Kit installation stopped the Web and Ftp
services and they won't start again. :-(

Regards,
Fergus

Thanks for the info. I downloaded it but I won't install it... Don't
want to reinstall my machine afterwards...

Herfried,

Do you want to be friendly or do you want to be antagonistic? I'd prefer
friendly but your other posts have provoked me into being otherwise. I have
suggested in other posts that we take the fight well away from here. I am
prepared to do this and I strive to speak reasonably neutrally in my posts
here, though I don't fully succeed in that..

If you would like a truce that would be even better.

I don't know whether you are reading this before or after having read the
other posts. You may be feeling somewhat 'reactive' and it might be best to
consider this particular post at a later time.

==========================================
The terms would be that -

For ten days:

We do not mention each other by name.

We don't respond to each other's posts.

We do not even refer to each other by implication. That means no
references <at all> that may even slightly connect with the other. For the
sake of completeness and the prevention of mistakes, this would exclude even
complimentary remarks.

We do not join <any> discussion that may develop between <other>
people if it is in any way connected with us. That means a certain OT thread
and <any> further threads. We can read but can't speak - whatever they say
about us. [Best advice there is to leave that thread unread until the truce is
over.]

On the tenth day we decide whether to extend the truce for a further
peoriod, or to be civel and respectful towards one another.

==========================================

If you are agreeable, please say so here. If you have any additional terms
that you can think of that apply <to both of us> that would be useful.

OK.

We don't respond to each other's posts.

Why not? We want to provide help. If there is something to add, I will
add it, and you can do that too.

You missed one important point:

We are friendly to each other and do not use words like "PLS". You know
what I mean.

I won't reduce my support to the people asking questions only because
you are sometimes not able to avoid using insulting speech.

Herfried,

The important point that I 'missed' is included in the terms that I have
already described.

I want your acceptance of all of these terms plus any additional that you
have. There are good reasons for every single one - they are not arbitrary. If
you still have difficulty understanding why I have listed a given condition,
please ask someone to explain.

==========================================
The terms would be that -

For ten days:

1 We do not mention each other by name.

2 We don't respond to each other's posts.

3 We do not even refer to each other by implication. That means no
references <at all> that may even slightly connect with the other.

4 For the sake of completeness and the prevention of mistakes, Terms #2
and #3 will exclude everything - even complimentary remarks.

5 We do not join <any> discussion that may develop between <other>
people if it is in any way connected with us. That means a certain OT thread
and <any> further threads. We can read but can't speak - whatever they say
about us. [Best advice there is to leave that thread unread until the truce is
over.]

6 These terms cover this newsgroup only. This truce has no meaning
anywhere else in the Universe.

==========================================

The essential ingredient in this truce is an <absense> of contact. With
zero contact there can be no provocation. A single contact may cause
provocation <regardless> of what is said or how. No contact means no risk. Any
contact means risk.

|| > We don't respond to each other's posts.
||
|| Why not? We want to provide help. If there is something to add,
|| I will add it, and you can do that too.

No. It is far too risky. For the period of this truce we do <not> respond
to each other's posts. We can jointly provide more help to this newsgroup by
staying apart than in any other way. I will <not> appreciate your additions to
my posts and <will> take it as a <breach of the truce>. As I say in Terms #2
and #4 - No responses at all, even if intended to be complimentary. Believe me
Herfried. Any compliment from you will be taken as condescending. Any remark
at all will be seen as an attempt.to irritate me. Any correction of my posts
will be taken as direct hostile action.

Please understand this, Herfried. Get someone to explain this to you if
you find it difficult.

|| You missed one important point:
||
|| We are friendly to each other and do not use
|| words like "PLS". You know what I mean.

This is two points. The second point is covered by Term #1.

The first is a naive hope. There is no room for friendliness at this time.
If you want to look forward to friendliness later, you'll need to think about
building bridges across a wide gulf.

Both points are fully covered by the Terms. No contact and no mention of
each other - directly or indirectly. Nothing friendly, nothing hostile.
Nothing at all.

|| I won't reduce my support to the people asking questions only
|| because you are sometimes not able to avoid using insulting speech.

Act upon the first point and you jeopardise the truce. The second part has
no relationship to the first part. (and don't explain it - it is immaterial).

|| I won't reduce my support to the people asking questions.
|| If there is something to add, I will add it, and you can do that too.

I have no desire for contact with you. I will not be making additions to
your posts. You will be corrected each time that you are wrong. But not by me.

Think of it this way, Herfried. How many people are here providing input?
How many check the postings that are made? Plenty. More than plenty. Like
everyone, you are dispensible Herfreid. Drop dead tomorrow and this group
carries on. The only difference is that someone else will have an opportunity
to answer the questions.

So if there is an addition appropriate to any of my posts, you can be
certain that someone will take care of it. Someone <else>, Herfried. I will
not accept <anything> from you in a good light. That is why I put the Terms as
they are.

Again - please understand this. Get someone to explain it to you if you
find it difficult.

Fergus

If anybody else happens to read this, it might be useful to add whatever
encouragement Herfried might need to fully comprehend the reasoning behind
these terms. If Herfried responds in a way that shows unwilling, please
impress upon him the 'sacrifice' that is required for the good of the
community, or some such.

 

[Rick Mogstad]

Go to your .NET framework directory (in your WINNT/WINDOWS directory, under
Microsoft.NET\Framework\Version) and run the following from a command line

aspnet_regiis.exe -i

that will setup your IIS to run ASPX pages.

It sounds to me like Herfried wants to behave like civilized people, let the past be the past, and
move on. It sounds like you want to get a lawyer and some marriage counseling. I think you're
going a bit over the top.

 

[Fergus Cooney]

Thanks Rick,

Then let's get over the top and on to the other side. ;-)

I don't want a lawyer or a counsellor. I would like some support from
those who understand that Herfried's nit-picking will make this flare up
again. Avoiding <that> is the whole point of this truce.

I've taken all my blowing off of steam to another area. Herfried seems to
be trying to provoke me into bringing it back here. Shall I say to hell with
everyone else as Herfried does?

I wouild be grateful if you'd impress on Herfried that I wish him to stay
completely clear of me. He doesn't seem to understand this point.

Regards,
Fergus

I will continue my support in this group like in the time before you
came into it. And I will contuinue to reply to your posts if I think
it's necessary to add something. If you don't want to touch me, leave
the group.

Please stop trying to ruin the group. We've asked you before but you don't
listen "at all" might I add. You stop think of some reason that you MUST be
right, compose a lame excuse about "the community" and expect to be
nominated for sainthood.

I've asked you before I will ask again. Has Microsoft assigned you to
monitor this newsgroup? If so I will compose a letter to the company
suggesting that you might not be suited to interacting with the public. You
cannot dictate the rules and you can't impose your personal values on
others.

You just keep nagging and nagging and nagging. I won't use the same term to
describe you as others have but you are clearly a nitwit...

Let me make what is clear to everybody, clear for you. Nobody minds your
help, everybody appreciates your help but you are not in charge. Does that
part make any sense? Of course not because you are the "Herfried" in the
group. I can introduce you the Herfried in other groups if you like... they
come and go and generally believe they are smarter than everybody but they
stick out because they try and take over the place.

Please stop it or please grow up or please (whatever it takes) for you to
reflect a little on your attitude. You are not "right" how about that for
simple? You dang Herfried-types ruin everything it is pitiful. Grow up!

 

[Herfried K. Wagner [MVP]]

Please stop trying to ruin the group.

How about this. Say to hell with Herfried, and dont reply to his posts. When he replies to
yours, let him, and leave it be. If he is out of line, he will start to look like an ass in front
of everyone else. If you just keep responding, then it makes it look more like an argument than a
childish attempt to start one.

So, perhaps it can be a one-sided truce. If things are as you say, and he will keep it up, then
everyone else will see it for what it is.

 

[Herfried K. Wagner [MVP]]

FYI: I will only reply to Fergus if I have a question or something to add,
I won't reply to him for any other reason in future.

I feel sorry for replying to Fergus' post, but my newsreader really
showed it as a reply to my post.

Sorry if I was unclear, but I am able to run aspx pages on other webs from
IIS. It is only the webs which the resource kit set up that are not
processing.
