WINDOWS VISTA AND .NET

[Morys]

I am trying to install .NET and when I start the installation I get a
message stating that I need Front Page Extensions.

I am using windows vista business version.

Where can I get these extensions? Do I really need them for windows
vista?

Thank you in advance.

You don't really need them. The FrontPage Extensions don't exist for Vista,
so you can't run them.

I suppose you're running VS 2003, right? Although it will prompt for the
FrontPage extensions you can actually get a project to open in VS 2003
without it just by pointing at the Web site like normal.

If you're using Windows Vista, the .Net platform is already installed.

heh...and it's the .Net Framework 3.0, to boot!

Here's Aaron Stebner's handy list of which .Net version shipped with which OS's:

By .NET, I presume you mean Visual Studio.NET, as the .NET Framework is
already part of Vista...

The only version of Visual Studio.NET which is supported on Vista is 2005 +
SP1 + the SP1 Vista update:

No other version of Visual Studio.NET is supported at all, though they may
work if you're lucky:

easy one... I got the exact same behavior... start your VS with
administrative rights and it will be resolved... take your shortcut,
right-click, then properties, then click advanced, then "Run as
administrator", then you're done... you can also do it directly on
devenv.exe, for a .exe, it's in the compatibility tab of the properties...

I hope it helps

Do I need the Enterprise Version of Windows Vista to install .NET 1.1?
Currently I have the business version and (a)It does not let me
install the Web Development server component and (b) It does not let
me continue with the installation unless I install the Front Page
Extensions.

Any suggestions?

Why it does not let me install the web development portion of Visual
Studio? It's asking for the Front Page Extensions.

See my previous post... VS.NET 2003 is not supported on Vista...

Because VS.NET 2003 is not supported on Vista - see my previous post...
