How to install iis 6.0 on windows xp-32? - iis-6

well, according to what I've found googling around, it's imposible... (maybe with with windows xp 64...)
but I thought that maybe someone could find a way to achieve it, or at least some workaround...

ps: I need to debug classic asp code, and my production environment is windows 2003, while my development machine is windows xp...
--
edit:
just to clarify, I can already debug classic asp code in iis 5 with vs 2003 and 2008, it's just that I stumbled upon a (very silly) bug that only appeared on iis 6 (when IIS 5 received and empty http status, it just assumed 200, while iis 6 kept asking for my credentials in an infinite loop, it was very silly in deed, but took me a lot of time -and cursing- to discover it)

IIS 6 cannot be installed on Win XP. However, debugging classic ASP code is possible on Windows XP / IIS 5.1 using Visual Studio 2003 and up. You will need to configure IIS 5.1 to "enable ASP server-side debugging" (disabled by default):

Here is a more detailed article on how to debug classic ASP pages in Visual Studio - link
(NOTE: When running on XP Pro/IIS 5, you need to attach to dllhost.exe instead of w3wp.exe)

You posting in your 2nd link is correct. And read the faq. That spells out why it can't be done.
One option you can do is have a virtual machine of Server 2003 running on your laptop.

How to run ASP.Net MVC 4 application on IIS 10

I upgraded my machine to windows 10 release 2.0 from Windows 7 and installed Visual Studio 2017 which I earlier used was VS 2012. My application is not working after setting up IIS 10.
Getting this below error:
HTTP Error 403.14 - Forbidden
The Web server is configured to not list the contents of this directory.
Is there something extra that needs to be configured for IIS 10?
From the asker in an edit to his question:
Running Visual Studio in admin mode solved the problem.

How to run vNext web api on IIS7

i'm getting started with asp.net vNext and i've found something that i cant understand if is a limitation on the DNX or if is something still not fixed.
When i'm publishing a simple webapi, as simply as the the default VS2015C template, my IIS 7 says:
IIS 7.5 or higher is required.
Is there some workarround or is really a limitation?
According to the latest community standup, the HELIOS integration between IIS and asp.net 5 was stopped. Ongoing the only server provided by MS is kestrel. You have to start and integrate kestrel into IIS by reverse proxying it.
This is quite normal in the Unix world and the .net team had to reduce the maintenance effort here.
Answering your question: Considering the Announcement I think practical usage in an Windows Environment via HttpPlatformHandler is only possible IIS8+.
ASP.NET 5 never has and never will support IIS 7 (Windows Vista and Windows 2008 both have IIS 7 only); IIS 7.5 and higher is actually required to bootstrap the dnx. If you want to work with ASP.NET 5 you must be running a Windows 7 or higher client OS or a Windows 2008 R2 or higher server OS.

Native WCF client for Windows XP

I have created program using MSVC++ that besides it's main task calls WCF server functions. Under Windows 7 and Windows 8 everything works fine and I got several problems with Windows XP:
On some machines I have error that webservice.dll is missing and program doesn't starts. Why some Windows XP installations contain webservice.dll while others - not? How to install required dll?
On Win XP computers that has webservice.dll sometimes programm just crashes without any reporting. After recompiling program without WCF client code program runs fine. What might be starting point to look for the problem?
Windows Web Services API (WWSAPI) is an operating-system component of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 or later versions of Microsoft Windows.
On Windows XP you need to package it with your app. The reason it works on some boxes is probably caused by one other installed application that uses that the WWSAPI as well.
The final version of the Windows Web Services API for Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 is now available
In contrast to the past pre-released version of this API, this final version release can be used in production code and redistributed with the final versions of the product. Because of this, the final version is only available to companies who agree to terms of Windows Master Redistribution License Agreement (MRLA). To acquire the redistributable installers for this release and a copy of the Windows MRLA for review, please email a formal request.

Updating IIS website using WCF standard endpoints with Powershell

We have an ASP.Net website running under the 4.0 framework in IIS 7.5 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 box. A portion of the web site functionality utilizes WCF and has a "standardEndpoints" section in the web.config.
The website works fine and everything works fine if we want to use the IIS Management Console GUI to do things.
We would like to use powershell to make changes to the web.site but when we run "Set-WebConfigurationProperty" an error is generated indicating that the "standardEndpoints" section of the web.config can't be processed.
The hotfix referenced here is not the solution. The website works, the hotfix appears to be only for Server 2008 (not R2), and when you try to install it, it says "not applicable for this server".
We did discover by running $PSVersionTable that PowerShell was referencing version 2.0 of the CLR. We installed Powershell 3.0 and now Powershell is referencing version 4.0 of the CLR but the problem persists.
We are looking to see if there is a simple solution to this. I suspect we may not have the right version of the IIS management script dll but can't find a different one to use. If the solution gets to complicated, we will just wipe the server and start from scratch.
Thanks for any suggestions,
John

WCF service works only with C# client on Win7 64 bit - IE can't even see it!

I have a weird situation with WCF web service running on Win7 64 bit.
First the configuration:
.NET 3.5, WCF, web service compiled for x86, running as a console app (or Windows service, doesn't make any difference in this case).
I am using basicHttpBinding. I also have aspNetCompatibilityEnabled set to "true".
I have test clients written in C#, Java, PHP, and Ruby.
Now the issue:
Everything works just fine on XP Pro, Win7 32bit, Win server 2003, Win server 2008 R2 64 bit.
When I run on Win7 64 bit, everything installs fine and the web service starts up just fine. I can run the C# client against this service and it works. When I run Java, it errors out with "Can't connect".
Also, when I type in "http://localhost:55555/RmJobService.svc" in IE 8, it comes back with a blank page right away, suggesting a connection issue. Interestingly, when the web service isn't running, IE 8 takes a lot longer to come back with an error.
Since it works on Win server 2008 R2 64 bit, this doesn't seem to be a 32/64 bit issue.
It is strange that a C# sample can consume the service...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
thanks!

There is an option in IIS 7 app pool settings to "Enable 32-bit applications." This may help since you are compiling in x86 mode.
Have you enabled the metadata exchange endpoint?
