Thanks I know Apache and yes I know IIS, but I want to play with some .Net stuff at home so I need IIS but I don't know if it is possible to get it free and where I get from.
Any help is much appreciated.
Scots, you still owe me that bottle of Famous Grouse for the Iview infor I helped you with.
is available as a free download from msdn. it needs win2k tho'. it comes as a 10-connection restricted version, the full version comes free with win2k server and win2k advanced server, but for development, it is perfect. the .net framework and matrix.net are free too. it is all free because uncle bill cares for us and likes to look after his afficionados.
If I can get a download of IIS I'll concede the Grouse :-)
I already know about the .Net framework thanks, that is what I want to have a play with, but...
as it says on the .Net framework download page...
Recommended Software:
Microsoft Data Access Components 2.6; Microsoft Data Access Components 2.7 is recommended. This is for applications that use Data Access.
Internet Information Services (IIS) version 5.0 or later - To access the features of ASP.NET, IIS with the latest security updates must be installed prior to installing the .NETFramework. ASP.NET is supported on the following platforms: Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional (SP 2 recommended), Microsoft Windows 2000 Server (SP 2 recommended), Microsoft Windows XP Professional, and Microsoft Windows .NET Server family.
So I am still at square one, do you or anyone know where I can download/get a copy of IIS free.
If it turns out that I have to upgrade to Win XP Professional - which involves paying then Bill can shove it up his @rse.
I'll stick with the free Apache, Java combinations.
I still don't understand how Bill thinks he can gain domination if the programmers on the ground have to pay to run his software - surely he needs our support.
