Configuring IIS

Before installing Windows Files CS, you must configure IIS to work with your installation.

Registering .NET Extensions in IIS

The Windows Files CS installer expects .NET extensions to be registered and allowed in IIS.

To register .NET extensions from the command line, run the following: 

<appropriate directory for v1.1.4322 framework>\aspnet_regiis.exe -i

To allow ASP.NET 1.1.4322 extensions:

  1. Open IIS Manager by selecting it from Programs | Administrative Tools | Internet Information Services Manager.
  2. In the left pane of the IIS Manager expand the node for the Web server and click Web Service Extensions.
  3. In the right pane, view a list of Web service extensions and the status (Prohibited or Allowed) for each. Right-click on the extension name and select Allow to enable it.
