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 

http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/

downloads/framework1_1/

 and follow the installation instructions on 

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.

NO

Write down this folder name for later use. When you type it later, be sure to 

TE

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.
