To install the .NET Framework and SDK:
1.
Check to see if the .NET Framework is installed on your system by
reviewing the list of applications in the Add or Remove Programs dialog
box (Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs).
If Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 is listed, the Framework is already
installed and you do not need to install it again. Skip to step 3.
2. If the .NET Framework is not installed on your system, install the
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Redistributable package from the
Microsoft website at
downloads/framework1_1/
the website.
You install the Framework as a Windows update.
3. Download the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Software Development
Kit (SDK) from the same website and follow the installation
instructions.
After installing the Framework and SDK, create a root folder for your web
application.
Creating a root folder
After the server software is installed, create a root folder for your web
application on the system running Microsoft IIS, and make sure the folder
has the necessary permissions.
To create a root folder for your web application:
1. Create a folder called MySampleApps on the system running IIS.
Write down this folder name for later use. When you type it later, be sure to
use exactly the same capitalization that you used when you created it.
A good place to create the folder is in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\. By
default, your IIS web server is set up to serve pages from the
Inetpub\wwwroot folder. The web server will serve any page in this
folder or in any of its subfolders in response to an HTTP request from
a web browser.
