IIS6 potential gotcha

If you install .net 2.0 before you install IIS6 then you will not be able to see .net 2 in the allowed extensions list because it  needs to register with IIS. Here’s a screenshot where it is missing:

 

To resolve this, go to the following directory:

c:windowsMicrosoft.NetFrameworkv2.0.50727

Then run this command:

aspnet_regiis.exe –i

Now you can refresh the MMC and enable .net 2.0!

I previously posted links to Mark Russinovich’s blog because he posts cool stuff about how windows really  works and I think it’s interesting stuff. Anyway he has two new posts about GDI objects.

• Pushing the Limits of Windows: USER and GDI Objects – Part 1
• Pushing the Limits of Windows: USER and GDI Objects – Part 2

Also while reading these articles I saw a link to the NT Debugging blog. This one looks to be very interesting too in a similar way so I have added it to my rss reader.
