Vista install that does not even get to the first page

[Harley]

I am installing the demo on vista, I can't even get the first install page to come up. I get this error.

You do not appear to have the correct permissions to install. The application must have the ability to write files to your installation folder. Make sure the user has MODIFY access to the install path.

Windows User: NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE
Install Path: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\AbleDemo\\

The exception was:

Access to the path 'C:\inetpub\wwwroot\AbleDemo\App_Data\PERMTEST.TXT' is denied.

I have checked perms on the dir, and that file permstest.txt does not exist in the dir specified. I know this seems stupid, but I did check the obvious things and the forum stuff deals only with things that happen after you get this page to come up. Any help here would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Mike,

So from that I gather that you can't install this on vista correct?

So if I want to develop and do custom code, how am I supposed to run this?

Sorry for the stupid questions.

What about running this on windows server 2008?

Hello,

It's just not a supported or tested OS as of yet, many have it working.

If the above doesn't get you going try searching the 7.0 forums on 'vista'.

It should work fine folks! You just have to set a few things, those things I haven't checked yet but it WILL work. First thing, try disabling User Account Control (UAC) in the Control Panel User Accounts area. See if it works. If not, try setting the IIS compatibility to IIS 6. Remember Vista uses IIS 7. As soon as AC 7 goes final I'll be setting up my Vista x64 dev machine with it and I can give more details at that time.

Bottom line, it WILL work just fine on Vista.

Neil,

Thanks, that got it going, I had to change some other perms too.

This will make a nice Wiki post once AC 7 is final.

I have AC working on two Windows Server 2008 Datacentre edition. Put the IIS virtual host on it's own application pool, and set it to classic mode.

We use SQL Enterprise, which was a real pain to get the right init string for because we didnt realise the datacentre had installed enterprise on there. Once we got that sorted it was fine.

[Harley]

Yes, the pool thing and the right perms on the dir did it for me. I will be setting up a win2k8 server soon on this too.

Mark,
Do you have AC7 running on Windows Servers 2008 with no problems?
I just tried migrating to it and got an error on Default.aspx.

The person from the hosting company sent me this:

"I see you have an error with the AJAX (System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0). IIS 7
only supports AJAX version 3.5. You will need to modify your codes."

Line 91: <compilation debug="false" strict="false" explicit="false">
Line 92: <assemblies>
Line 93: <add assembly="System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, . . .

Have you been running AC7 on Win 2008 sucessfully? thanks
