aspx_beginners thread: quickstart tutorials - missing databases


Message #1 by "Steve" <steve@s...> on Sun, 10 Feb 2002 10:24:22 -0000
Can anyone please advise how to install the \NetSDK databases for the

ASP.NET quickstart tutorials. I am sure these were set up automatically when

I installed the tutorials in Beta 2 but they have not been set up with the

RTM version.



I have XP Pro and SQL Server 2000. Do I really have to install MSDE as well?



Cheers, Steve

I think it is similar to installing VS.NET.  When installing VS.NET, the

complete reference materials do not install unless you pick the "custom"

installation.  It was the same with VS.NET beta 2.

I think it installs the first time you use it, It runs an installer.

I would think it would check your system first and NOT install MSDE if you

dont need it , but I'm not sure about that. When I installed there were some

detailed Html help files on the installation procedure. Just a case of

finding them in the vast depths of the .NET documentation.



NOTE: When running sample codes from Ch02 using the OleDbDataAdapter I was

getting 'could not install isam' errors. I found this problem was something

to do with the way quickstart tutorials is configured with IIS and solved

the problems after simply copying the database to C:\ root dir(much shorter

string too).

C:\Program Files\Microsoft.NET\FrameworkSDK\Samples\setup\ConfigDetails.htm

has some details but I dont think it really helps. It actually says MSDE

must be installed in one line.

Paul,



Belated thanks for the advice. I decided to go ahead and install MSDE.

Unfortunately it decided to call itself \VSDOTNET rather than \NETSDK so the

samples still wouldn't run! I've decided to load up the sample db's onto SQL

Server and edit the connection strings in the samples as I run them.



Cheers, Steve
