ASP.Net Failures Installing with VSLive VS2005 Build

March 26, 2004 @ 1:55 pm

I went ahead and tried to install the new VS2005 beta I picked up at VSLive this week. Unfortunately I haven’t had much luck with it – it killed all of ASP. Net and worse the IIS Management Console. It looks like there’s a failure registering various virtual directories under ASP. Net 2.0. But the real bummer is that it crashes the IIS Admin console. As soon as I bring up the management console and right click on a Web site the MMC blows up with an exception. Trying to run an existing ASP.Net application results in immediate 404 errors (?).

I’ve been really clamoring for an update but I guess I shouldn’t get too excited. I’ve been more than anxious to get a more recent build of Whidbey/.Net 2.0 to test a few things I have been working on. Yeah, yeah, the software is not ready but there are a few technologies I’m more than a little interestested in learning more about and several of them I committed myself to do sessions on at a couple of conferences later this year (on the original assumption of a ship date at the end of this year instead of the middle of next year ).

In the end I had to uninstall the 2.0 framework and then re-register version 1.1 with ASPNET_REGIIS to get my existing applications to run again.

It’s really frustrating to have Microsoft push out stuff in this state. Hopefully this is an isolated issue that’s specific to my setup, although I doubt it since there’s nothing fancy on my local machine running Windows Server 2003. Although the CD is clearly labeled that this is an unsupported and untested build it’s pretty sad to have something in this state out a half a year after the original alpha shipped in what passes as a semi-offical build that is also going to be posted on MSDN for subscribers. In addition to the failure with ASP. Net and IIS I also looked through some of my sample apps I had been playing with some new features in Whidbey and the designers and VS.Net itself is acting really flaky – more flakey even than the original alpha.

So much for my excitement… Time to dig out Virtual PC and install it on a clean VPC…

Did you already have VS03 on this machine? Keep us informed on what happens with the clean install.

Hope the VPC install goes well for you. I installed the tech preview on a WS03 VPC that originally had VS2003 and SQL Server 2000 on it.

I uninstalled VS2003 then installed the tech preview. Haven't run into any problems yet.

Good luck!

Installing VS2005 March Alpha on my test machine right now - apart from some install issues with getting the ISO into a runnable format, things are going ok so far (which is to say, the install isn't over yet). I'm going to blog about my experiences as I have them for the next few days. My setup is WS2003 with nothing else on it (though it has had PDC bits and an interim build installed and uninstalled since it was last paved).

I've had other things installed on this machine (Whidbey Alpha, Yukon, VS2003), but this new VS2005 release really sucks. I found that IIS is screwed too (can't pull up properties for a vDir). It crashes on almost everything (inc. closing VS). I was hoping for something at least as good as the alpha, perhaps with some fixes and enhancements (and there are some fixes, like the source-inline ASP.NET code editor), but man, this release is bad :(. Even the splash screen comes up all messed up. I'm not sure if I should even bother bugging things, 'cause I can't imagine that the team isn't aware that most things are messed up :).

Oh well, I guess I got what I asked for (an early build).

Looks like there are some mixed results from installation. Several other entries seem to indicate that at least ASP.Net is running. I'm still working on my VPC install (it's so damn slow until the extensions can be installed) so I'll have mroe info on a clean install. But like Mike my first impression of the build in VS was that it felt very flakey. I had major issues in the designers with temporary lockups and lack of refresh, which really makes working with this stuff a complete drag.
Having waited this long for a refresh to get this is definitely a major downer and I'm also wondering whether I should even bother to waste my time with anything of this quality level. If it wasn't for some sessions I need to get moving on I wouldn't bother...

After a little help from several folks at Microsoft I finally managed to get the VSNet 2005 Community Distribution to run ASP.Net 2.0 properly after my original install disasters. The problem turns out to be a fault in the installer which incorrectly creates registry entries for the ASP.Net mappings in the registry. These registry keys are corrupt and point at bogus filenames.

just installed VS 2005 Community Tech Preview on a machine which has VS.NET 2003. Good news is that 2003 still works (i had to re-register some virtual dirs back to using FW1.1 though...). Bad news is this new version of Whidbey is much flakier and slower than the PDC version (which i thought was amazingly stable for an alpha). I can't seem to to much with the CTP without crashing it. I can't add new items to existing websites (dialog is completely blank), only to new websites i've just created. This version is really a step backwards :(

Yeah, had major problems, too. Ended up having to reinstall Windows in order to get Beta 1 to work again.

Can you share the registry entry names, and details of what was done to fix the problem?

Thanks

After uninstalling everything 2.0 I could, HKLM\System\ControlSet001\Services\aspnet_admin still had:

%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.40607\aspnet_admin.exe
which didn't exist. Unfortunately the 1.1 directory didn't have an aspnet_admin.exe either.

Same entry in Control Set003 and CurrentControlSet.

Many processes run under the name“ SVCHOST. EXE” and when it has problems, it’ s difficult to track down the cause. Examples of problems include system hangs or 100% CPU utilization that is attributed to the service. The performance team of Microsoft put together an easy way to conquer these problems, that is if you’ re windows savvy.

You may find this error when you try to register WCF service host using HTTP binding in windows vista. I had the same problem and I found the perfect solution here.

Thanks Steve, I think the problem may be that you’ re using permalinks, and specifically, that you were using permalinks since before stattraq started recording data. The result is that there are no records in the database with a post ID; and consequently we see the error.

Don’ t you think the idea is neat, having a coffee mug that can tell you everything you want in the early morning? Such as the weather, time, traffic, stocks etc, without needing you to sit in front of your computer screen while having your breakfast. That is the concept of a Yuno coffee mug PC. As today’ s computer chips are getting smaller and smaller, it shouldn’ t be too far from now to produce an intelligent coffee mug that comes equipped with touch- screen technology that would tell what have been mentioned.
