    Framework installation

    I'm not sure if this should go in FAQs or general.

    I have a home network with a primary domain controller running Windows
    2000 Server. It has .NET framework v 1.1 on it, and IIS 5 (probably
    5.0).

    I also have a workstation running XP Pro, Visual Studio 2005 with .NET
    framework 2.0, and IIS 5.1 I have a web application I've developed
    there, and I'm trying to install it on the server.

    When I try to run it on server, it immediately throws an exception
    trying to read the web.config file, saying it doesn't recognize the
    <connectionstri ngelement. So I figure, Okay, it's running framework
    v1.1, that's probably a v2.0 thing.

    So I download the Framework 2.0 Redistributable from the Microsoft
    website, and install it on the server, including running the SP1
    update.

    But it doesn't seem to be installed. There's now a v2_0 folder in the
    \Winnt\Microsof t.Net\Framework directory tree, but IIS is still runing
    v1.1 (as evidenced by the Version information when it throws the
    exception). Also, when I run administrative tools on the workstation,
    there's a "Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 configuration" MSC, as well as
    one for v1.1 and v1.0. Running administrative tools on the server
    still only has the v1.1 configuration tool, and a search of the whole
    disk for .MSC files does not turn up a 2.0 configuration MSC.

    So what do I need to do to make sure 2.0 is properly installed, and
    specifically, to get IIS to use it?

    Thanks for any help.

    Never mind, I answered my own question.

    (Answer, if interested: In IIS Administration, each website has a
    properties screen, with a ASP.NET tab that, among other things, has a
    drop down list of .NET version to run for that web site. I changed it
    there, and it worked.)
