  • 0

Trying to develop and test an ASP.NET MVC 2 as well as a hosted WCF app where the client is limited to IIS 6.0 (OS Windows 2003). I am developing and testing in Windows 7 which has IIS 7. I do not have access to a Windows 2003 disk, so creating a VM doesn’t appear to be a viable option for me…

Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated

Update:
Lucas’ response led me to consider a virtual dedicated server… Going to try that for a testing environment.

    You don’t have many options

    1. You bend (get a MSDN subscription or Win 2k3)
    2. Your client bends (upgrades to Win7/2k8)
    3. Find someone you know who can let you use an IIS 6 machine.
    4. Get your client to let you use one of their machines during development
