ASP.net is a web application framework, developed and marketed by Microsoft, that programmers can use to build dynamic web sites, web applications and web services. It was first released in January 2002 with version 1.0 of the .NET Framework, and is the successor to Microsoft's Active Server Pages (ASP) technology. ASP.net is built on the Common Language Runtime, allowing programmers to write ASP.net code using any supported .NET language.

In this instruction guide for WAMP, we will show you how to install and setup ASP.net for WAMPSERVER in Windows Server 2008. Fortunately, the procedure to install ASP.net is about the same in Windows Vista and XP, so you can use this guide to setup ASP.net in either Windows Vista or XP. In order for ASP.net to work with WAMP, you need more than just mod-aspdotnet.

Step 1

We all know that ASP.net replies on .NET Framework, so in order for ASP.net to work, we do need to have .NET Framework (asp1.jpg).

Step 2

If you're not sure that you've already had .NET Framework or not, just go ahead and install it. Right click on installer dotnetfx and select "Run as administrator" (asp2.jpg).
