  Looking for advice on .NET 2/MS Ajax vs .NET 3.5 requirement Reply Contact  I am preparing Gallery Server Pro for inclusion in the gallery, and it requires one of the following:  * .NET 2.0 with MS Ajax 1.0 installed or * .NET 3.5 I currently ship it with web.config pre-configured to expect .NET 2.0 w/ AJAX, but the user can replace it with web_3.5.config that is configured for .NET 3.5. How should I approach this when preparing the package? Is the installer smart enough to handle this? In other words, is it possible for it to use the default web.config when .NET 2.0 w/ AJAX is installed but replace web.config with the 3.5 version when it senses .NET 3.5 is installed? Thanks, Roger Martin Gallery Server Pro http://www.galleryserverpro.com

  Re: Looking for advice on .NET 2/MS Ajax vs .NET 3.5 requirement Reply Contact The Web Platform Installer will install whichever version of .NET an application requires.  It can't choose different versions of an application based on which .NET is installed.  And it can't change a setting based on which is installed.  You could just specify .NET 3.5 as the requirement for your app, though, and then The Web PI will make sure it is installed on any system before your app gets installed.   -Jake -- Steve Jacobson (Jake) Sr. Program Manager - IIS
