I want to setup a Win7 virtual machine to develop using Visual Studio 2008

  • 0

I want to setup a Win7 virtual machine to develop using Visual Studio 2008 and ASP.Net 3.5.

I don’t know what the best order to install what I need. I will need to install:

a) Visual Studio 2008
b) IIS
c) Service Packs for Visual Studio and/or .Net Framework

My last try was bad, I cannot do my old ASP.Net 3.5 web app to work on Win7 (works fine on Win2003).

Another questions are, if I choose to use Visual Studio 2010 (to develop ASP.Net 3.5), it’s recommended? And the installation order will change?

Thanks for all

    Your best bet is to actually use the Microsoft Web Platform Installer. This tool will walk you through installing ALL of the components you need to host a web application. Pick your platform (PHP, ASP.NET, etc), an optional application (DasBlog, etc), and even choose to download Visual Studio 2008 Web Developer + SQL Express. It will install everything for you seamlessly. I’ve used it and I highly recommend it for a “clean” install.
