Updating ASP.NET

Follow these instructions when you know that Microsoft .NET was installed before Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) on the web server, or if you are not sure that Microsoft Internet Information Services was installed first.

Before you begin

In Windows 2008, Microsoft aspnet_regiis.exe must be run in Administrator mode, and can be run in a command prompt window. Before you begin, ensure that a shortcut exists, or add a shortcut to %windir%\system32\cmd.exe to your Start menu.

About this task

This procedure provides instructions on how to run Microsoft aspnet_regiis.exe to update the ASP.NET application script maps to point to the appropriate version of ASP.NET.

When the server hosts Datacap Web Client, Report Viewer, or Datacap web services (wTM), run the aspnet_regiis.exe found in the C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\ folder.
When the server hosts the Fingerprint Service, run the aspnet_regiis.exe program file that is found in the C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\ folder.
If the server hosts Datacap Web Client, Report Viewer, or Datacap web services (wTM), and the Fingerprint Service, run both versions of aspnet_regiis.exe.

Procedure

On the Start menu, right-click the shortcut for the command prompt window and select Run as administrator.
Run the aspnet_regiis.exe with the -i parameter, using the entire path, such as in the following examples: C:\>C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis.exe -i And C:\>C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -i. Progress messages are displayed indicating the start and completion of the installation.
When the installation is finished, close the command prompt window.
