Hi Imar,

I am trying to run Asp.net website on localhost on my windows xp machine which is having IIS5.1 already installed.Also I registered the ASP.Net to IIS using the command
aspnet_regiis -i.

But in IIS I am not able to see the Application Pool Folder which is shown in Figure 19-10 in chapter 19.

Also I tried copying the website files to C:\Inetpub\wwwroot and created a virtual directory but it is still not working.
Please let me how to deploy the website on WinXP machine.

Hi there,

IIS on XP doesn't let you explicitly manage application pools as you can in IIS 7. You could try copying the files to C:\inetpub\wwwroot and use the default application which you then need to configure for .NET 4.

You could also install Windows 7 in a Virtual PC, install IIS and deploy there to get a more modern experience. Running on XP isn't good for production scenarios anyway so figuring out how to do it may be a bit of a time waster...... ;-)

Cheers.

Imar
