SUMMARY

If you install Microsoft Visual Studio .NET with Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 to host Web applications or XML Web services, you must also enable Active Server Pages (ASP) and FrontPage Server Extensions (FPSE). ASP and FPSE are installed with IIS. By default, ASP and FPSE are disabled, and you must enable them by using IIS Manager, the IIS administration tool.

If you install Visual Studio .NET 2002, you must also map an application extension for .tmp files.

Note You do not have to map an application extension for .tmp files when you install Visual Studio .NET 2003.
