VISTA and IIS

[hugh welford]

HI - I work in web development and fid it very useful to be abble to run IIS
webserver on my machine for offline development.

I currently have this set up on WIN XP Pro and it workd fine.

I am under pressure to upgrade to Vista, but am also told that there have
been issues regarding running IIS under Vista Business/Ultimate, athough
some say that these issues are non-existent now under Vista Ultimate

Before I upgrade, can someone with experience of these problems put me on
the right track to a robust Vista upgrade that will allow me to run IIS for
off line web development

Thanks a million in advance

Hugh

You can install the Vista IIS 7 on Ultimate and Business editions
see
http://technet2.microsoft.com/windo...e993-42a2-bf93-275375d662631033.mspx?mfr=true
This will give you a full install of all features packages of IIS 7

Thanks MIke.

I was aware that IIS could be installed on Business and Ultimate Vista.

I am more concerned with reports that there are currently unresolved issues
in actually running IIS on these platforms, (although some sources report
that the issues are resolved under Ultimate)

Before proceeding with an upgrade, I am looking for confirmation from
someone who has actually done it, whether I will be able to actually run IIS
under either business or ultimate without issues or hassle.

Thanks
Hugh

Hi Hugh

Did you get it up and running?

I still can't get IIS to show my local ASP pages.

Has anybody a "walk through" link?

Please

I am running .Net 2005 Web Development, with IIS7 and Vista Ultimate with
no problems. You have to install IIS7 and IIS6 Management if you're doing
FTP development as IIS6 Management is what you use to control the FTP site.
There are some major differences between IIS7 and IIS6 in Web server
management and application management, but I have found all the solutions
needed using Google.

I suggest that you don't upgrade over the top of XP and do a fresh install
of Vista to avoid any problems.
