How To Enable Extensions Used by Visual Studio .NET in IIS 6.0

This article was previously published under Q329473

On This Page

SUMMARY

If you install Microsoft Visual Studio .NET with Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 to host Web applications or XML Web services, you must also enable Active Server Pages (ASP) and FrontPage Server Extensions (FPSE). ASP and FPSE are installed with IIS. By default, ASP and FPSE are disabled, and you must enable them by using IIS Manager, the IIS administration tool.

If you install Visual Studio .NET 2002, you must also map an application extension for .tmp files.

Note You do not have to map an application extension for .tmp files when you install Visual Studio .NET 2003.

Enable the Correct Web Service Extensions in IIS 6.0

After you complete the Windows Component Update portion of the Visual Studio .NET installation, follow these steps to enable the Web service extensions:
  1. Click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. IIS Manager opens.
  2. Expand the computer name, and then click Web Service Extensions. The Web Service Extensions window appears on the right side of IIS Manager.
  3. Under Tasks, click Add a new Web service extension. The New Web Service Extension dialog box appears.
  4. For Extension name, select ASP.NET v1.0.3705.
  5. Add the Aspnet_isapi.dll file to the list of required files. To do this, click Add, click Browse, click the v1.0.3705 version of Aspnet_isapi.dll (found in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705), and then click Open. Click OK.
  6. Click to select the Set extension status to Allowed check box, and then click OK.
  7. Click OK.

Map .tmp Files

  1. Click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
  2. Right-click your Web site, click Properties, and click HTTP Headers.
  3. Click MIME Types, and then click New.
  4. For Extension, type .tmp.
  5. For MIME type, type text/plain.
Important You must repeat these steps for any Web site where Web projects will be created with Visual Studio .NET 2002.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
