ASP.Net Platform Requirements ASP.NET is supported on Windows 2000 (Professional, Server, and Advanced Server), Windows XP Professional, and the Windows Server 2003 family for both client and server applications. In addition, to develop ASP.NET server applications, the following software is also required: Windows 2000 Server or Advanced Server with Service Pack 2, Windows XP Professional or 64-Bit Edition, or one of the Windows Server 2003 family products. MDAC 2.7 for Data Internet Information Services Note XML Web services created using ASP.NET support the same platforms supported by ASP.NET. XML Web service clients, however, are supported by all platforms supported by the Microsoft.NET Framework. For more information, see.net Framework System Requirements. On the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 family, ASP.NET is installed as a role on the operating system. To deploy ASP.NET Web applications to a production server, you must enable the ASP.NET and IIS roles on the production server before you distribute the application. On Microsoft Windows XP and Windows 2000 Server, ASP.NET is installed with the.net Framework, whether alone or as a part of Visual Studio.NET. To deploy ASP.NET Web applications to a production server, you must be sure that Internet Information Services (IIS) is installed and running on that server before you install the.net Framework. For information on how to install IIS, see the documentation for your operating system. Northpointe Evolving Practice Through Scientific Innovation 4
