What files needed to install .Net 1.1 on Web Server?

[Wade]

I would like to install the .Net 1.1 framework on a Web Server running W2K
to be able to run ASP.NET files, but I'm not sure where to find the files I
need for the .Net framework.

I have ".NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1" (NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe) and
"ASP.NET Security Update for .NET Framework 1.1 SP1"
(NDP1.1sp1-KB886903-X86.exe).

The SP1 will not install unless 1.1 is already installed (I thought that SP1
was the whole 1.1 package). It was posted earlier (7/26/2005) on this
newsgroup that the .NET 1.1 redistributable is not needed on the server,
only on client machines that need to run Windows Forms applications using
..NET Framework (DNF) (which I thank the author, Clinton Gallagher, for his
input and advice)
The MSDN site
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/downloads/framework1_1/) says that
1.1 can be obtained from Microsoft Windows Update (which I assume is not the
redistributable) - Is there any other way to get it online?

So I guess I'm confused as to exactly what files need to be installed on a
Web Server running W2K Server and IIS 5.0 so that ASP.NET files (.aspx)
created in FrontPage 2003 can run (I have sample aspx files, but they won't
run on our intranet because the intranet web server doesn't have the .NET
framework installed)

Thanks in advance.

I have to pointed out that you read the said post entirely wrong. That post
said:

But you read it as:

was the whole 1.1 package). It was posted earlier (7/26/2005) on this
newsgroup that the .NET 1.1 redistributable is not needed on the server,
only on client machines that need to run Windows Forms applications using
.NET Framework (DNF) (which I thank the author, Clinton Gallagher, for his
input and advice)

So, the anwser to your question is, YES, you need .NET Framework on the web
server to run ASP.NET. You need to install redistributable package and then
apply available sevice pack.

You thank Clinton G for the quote, but then you didn't read the quote.

I will excerpt the key sentence so it will be easy to spot.

"The .DNF (.NET Framework) [...] is required on the web server where the
ASP.NET application runs.

You must install the dot net framework onto the web server in order to run
your ASP.Net app.

Thanks guys, as you can see I am really green at this .NET stuff. When I
read the first paragraph, it said DNF needed to be installed on server, then
the 2nd paragraph made reference to the redistributable needing to be
installed locally if Windows Forms is used, so I thought (wrongly) that
these were 2 different programs -- .NET (paragraph 1) and .NET
redistributable (paragraph 2). So, dotnetfx.exe, then the sp, then the asp
security update -- got it.

Another question (which may be too obvious) Should I stop the IIS Admin
service before any of the files are installed?

Thanks again.
