Its Mark Christianson (in case this thing puts me as anonymous again)

I have my websites on another drive and it worked just fine... make sure you can create and access a website using http://localhost or http://[machinename] to ensure you're all set before the install.

Hey Ryan... any reason you just dont offer two download types (install and zip)? I dont know if its a license issue or what but it just seems like in a few cases (myself included) if you had to restore a file you accidentily messed up.. you'd have to install the whole smear again.

http://localhost is working.
http://[machinename] don´t work.

Maybe it is a reason that IE is not my default browser?

Hi René,

Did you manage to resolve this problem? If not could you let me know your OS and IIS version so i can replicate locally. Also could you provide a screen grab of the error message so i can at which stage this appears during installation.

Many thanks for assisting with RC1 testing

Hi Mark,

Why are you anonymous? Is this a bug? With regards to a seperate zipped version this will be available with the v4.0 final from within My.InstantASP.

I'll certainly ensure i provide a seperate zipped version for the next upload.

Hello Ryan,

i have Windows XP professional incl. SP2
IIS 5.1 incl. SP2

The Error is a simple MessageBox during the start process of installation. "Webserver required". Nothing more.

Following i have installed:
Virus Scanner
Microsoft AntiSpam
Active XP Firewall
IIS Root is not C:\Inetpub

Hi René,

Many thanks for the information. I'll try to replicate this problem and confirm.

Would a zipped version of the files be helpful?

I had the same problem, solved by creating a (empty) c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ folder.  I was still able to set the application installed to d:\inetpub\wwwroot.
