installation requirements

What are the installation requirements for Atlas? I've got VS.NET 2005 Beta 2 (8.0.50110.28), but I get a FileNotFoundException when I try to run the install. I looked around on the web and in forums, but I couldn't find anyone else with a similar issue. Any ideas?Do you have a "Visual Studio 2005" directory under your My Documents folder? It should have a structure like this:
Visual Studio 2005
+ Code Snippets
+ Projects
+ Settings
+ Templates
+ Visualizers
Thanks,
I had a variation of the folder structure you mentioned... I had ItemTemplates and ProjectTemplates folders instead of a single Templates folder. (This was the default installation.) I added the Templates folder and tried running the Atlas installation again but got the same message -- FileNotFoundException. Is there an additional set of folders under the Templates directory that the install is looking for? Or a specific file in there?

installing v1.0 beta on Windows 2000 Server

Hi,

Is it possible and safe to install the new beta and ctp on Windows 2000 Server please?

Thanks

hello.

yes, i've just seen another post where a team member said that the docs are incorrect since they don't mention that ajax is supported on windows 2000 server (a quick search will show this post).

Excellent! Thank you for your help.

Intalling atlas on windows vista

hello guys.

today i've installed vista beta 2 (ultimate edition) and i'm facing a weird problem related with the installation of atlas.

everything seems to go fine but at the end of the installation i get the following error: access to the path c:\program files\microsoft asp.net\atlas\v2.0.50727\vsisetup.installstate us denied.

so, has anyone installed atlas on vista?

Hi Luis,

I got the same problem installing Atlas on Vista. I solved it by running the AtlasSetup.msi as Administrator. The problem is that Vista dont allow you to run an msi as Administrator, to do it you need to create a .bat file that executes the msi and run that .bat file as Administrator.

I just saved AtlasSetup.msi on C:\ and created atlas.bat file on c:\ with the content: "C:\AtlasSetup.msi" and saved it. To execute the bat file I clicked with the right mouse button in it and used the Run as Administrator option to execute the bat.

Hope that it helps you.

See ya,

Diego

hello Diego,

that's weird...i was testing that new feature of vista that allows you to run as non admin even though you're an admin (so, yes, i'm in the administrators group)...the funny part is that eveerything seems to run fine until the end of the installation. here i get the error presented before...

Hi Guys,

I was having the same problem yesterday and I think the problem was trying to register the asbx file extension with IIS7. After a reinstall of IIS it all worked fine.

Cheers,
Andy

I also tried to install attlas on vista. When I saw the message which prevents Atlas to write to the disk I rebooted Vista in safe mode and loged on as administrator. Then I got error that atlas cannot be installed in safe mode, The only thing which allow me to install atlas was to allow access to specified folder during setup. You need to find folder in windows explorer, select properties and manages security access tab,

hello.

i've managed to install it without errors by opening explorer as an admin (yep, go to the explorer.exe though windows explorer, right click on it and choose run as admin) and then running the installer didn't gave me any problems.

Intellisense bug - Fixed in AJAX RC?

Has the intellisense bug that existed in the AJAX Beta been fixed with the RC version? I am still getting the "Element 'ScriptManagerProxy' is not a known element." message in source view for Child Pages. I don't see this in master pages. However, if I rename the tagprefix to ajax rather than asp in the web.config and tsrt using that tag prefix in my web forms, the intellisense starts working properly. Any suggestions?

Should be fixed as described on Scott Guthrie's bloghttp://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2006/12/15/visual-studio-2005-service-pack-1-sp1-released.aspx

Intellisense in AJAX RC1

I've had this problem is I moved to AJAX Beta 1 but my intellisense is broke and it's driving me crazy. When is this supposed to be fixed?

Hi,

there's an intellisense tip inthis blog entry by Scott Guthrie.

VS2005 SP1 fixes this problem.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/support/vs2005sp1/default.aspx

Hello autoflyer,

autoflyer:

VS2005 SP1 fixes this problem.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/support/vs2005sp1/default.aspx

is this Problem fixed in youre installation?

I've installed both vs2005sp1 and AJAX RC1 but the intellisense works only with the opened masterpage or change the tagprefix away from "asp". I also cleaned up my [ReflectedSchemas] folder like Scott says inthis Blog.

Hi,

I use VS2005 Pro and the intellisense problem I experienced with AJAX tags in content pages is indeed fixed with SP1 for me. I have applied SP1 to 2 machines at work both of which no longer exhibit the intellisense problem.

Is ASP.NET AJAX Beta 2 Medium Trust compatible?

Sorry for the question: I could try and answer by myself but this week I don't think I will even find time for downloading the new beta.
Anyway I'd really appreciate if anyone who's more in-to the new features than me could tell me if...

with a Medium Trust configured web appno installed ASP.NET AJAX (that means no Microsoft.Web.Extensions etc... in the GAC)with AJAX dlls deployed into the web app bin folder

...does the application work?!

Thanks to anyone who will help me saving time!

hello,

Beta 2 does not support web app bin folder installation. I know its very bad. seems like beta 2 is just for testing. not for shared hosting deployment.

..waiting for new release.

achu.

hello.

though i might be wrong, i think that the current release sill needs full trust...hope i'm wrong.

Is it now possible with RC ? don't have time to test it right know, thanks for your answers.

Regards,

Ben.

hello.

RC version needs meddium trust if you install the dll on the gac. if your host hasn't installed it, then you need to drop the dll on the gac and condigure your web app to tun in full trust mode.

ASP.NET AJAX applications will run in medium trust. In a hosted environment, the hoster must install ASP.NET AJAX extensions on the server. While it may take some time for all hosters to provide this for customers, there are some who are already offering ASP.NET AJAX hosting and there are actually benefits for hosters in installing the bits on the server vs. their customers deploying the dll in \bin themselves. For one, multiple applications on the server can run from a single instance of the dll in the GAC.

Thanks Rich, now I just have to convince my hoster to install it in GAC, I'll ask him as soon as final version will be available (end of Jan ?).

Ben.

Make sure you let them know that the ASP.NET AJAX installer (ASPAJAXExtSetup.msi) installs the dll in the GAC by default - i.e., there's no post-configuration they need to do after installing.
