I am trying to develop a simple sample mobile web app using MVC4, to provide a small demo to my team. Following is my machine config
OS: Windows XP
VS: VS 2010 express
Emulator: Android (i couldn’t find windows7 emulator for xp)
Problem: Android Emulator needs (as far as i know) application to be hosted as IIS application
but when i create virtual directory for the MVC4 and try to access, it simple throws 403 error, thats because (again as far as i know) IIS 5.1 doesn’t know MVC4 Request handling
Question: Now how to proceed in this situation to test the application on latest mobile (of any kind windows7, android or apple) emulator browser ?
I tried IIS Express, but android emulator didn’t like it.
Have you tried mapping all requests to aspnet_isapi.dll?
