WOW, it has been a while since I had something to blog about. The last week or so has been very busy, but filled with the normal everyday happenings. Nothing to really pique my noggin and necessitate me to dig in to find an answer to what’s going on. But today I got something so I thought I would share.
I was installing a web app on an XP Pro box that had the 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0 frameworks all installed, however the app kept failing its install with an error that aspnet_regiis was failing. Well, honestly, I’ve never run into that before and I wasn’t even sure if the app would install on IIS 5.1. The only things I was finding on the web mentioned having that error when trying to run the app on a 64bit system. Well, just to be sure I verified that I had the 32bit version of XP on the box and kept looking. Eventually I found a post that had nothing to do with my app, but I thought I’d give it a try.
Running aspnet_regiis -i from a cmd prompt (within the C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 folder) cleared up my problem. Seems that somehow the 2.0 framework wasn’t running and being connected to by IIS. Running the command registered the framework and all was good.
By the way Exchange is coming along well. Tonight, I should be installing it on the domain in order to start getting everything set for next month’s roll out. I’m really excited about some of the features Exchange 2007 has, like the differentiation between user account and resource accounts. (I know that sounds minor and silly, but hey I’m a network geek.) Well, not a long post, but it was kinda interesting solving that little puzzle today.
