Problem Deploying ASP .NET Atlas on Vista Beta 2.

Hi Everyone,

I have a problem installing the Atlas June CTP on Windows Vista Beta 2 (Build 5384). It always pops an error: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft ASP .NET\Atlas\v2.0.50727\VSISetup.InstallState is denied" and subsequently rolls back the installation.

Please help!!! :(

Hey All,

I forgot to add, the user under which I tried installing Atlas belongs to the Administrators group...

Thanx...

I am having the exact same problem, same version of Vista and user in adminstrators group.

Problem installing Atlas

I am installing Atlas for the first time. I have both Visual Studio 2003 and 2005 installed. When I try to install Atlas I get this error message

Installation stopped because the directory for the ProjectType value did not exist. The project type is invalid for your installation of Visual Studio.

Is this because I have both Visual Studios installed and can it be remedied short of uninstalling 2003.

Thanks for reporting the issue. We will investigate the problem and post an update when we have more info.

In the meanwhile, can you try the following workaround:
- Launch Atlas setup, uncheck "Install Atlas Visual Studio Project Template" and finish the setup.
- Then go to locate ASPNETAtlas.vsi under your program files path (e.g. C:\Program Files\Microsoft ASP.NET\Atlas\v2.0.50727)
- Double click the ASPNETAtlas.vsi file to launch the Visual Studio Content Installer dialog.
- Find the link above the Publish information area, it is called "View files in Windows Explorer..."
- Click on it to open the content of the vsi in Window Explorer
- If you have Visual C# installed, copy ASPNETAtlasWebApplicationCS.zip to the folder C:\Documents and Settings\<your user id>\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual Web Developer\CSharp\
- Respectively, if you have Visual Basic installed, copy ASPNETAtlasWebApplicationVB.zip to C:\Documents and Settings\<your user id>\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual Web Developer\VisualBasic\
- Open a new VS 2005, do File->New->Web Site, you should see the Atlas Web Site template under "My Templates" when you choose Language Visual C# or Visual Basic

Perfect. I plopped the zip file into the location of the template directory and Visual Studio 2005 saw it and the template appeared in my templates objects. Thanks

Problem installing the documentation

When I build the website for the documentation I get the following errors:

Error 37 Unknown server tag 'Samples:ClientVerification'. C:\AJAX Documentation\Samples\LocalizingClientResourcesWalkthrough\cs\Default.aspx 40

Error 36 Could not load file or assembly 'LocalizingScriptResources' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. C:\AJAX Documentation\Samples\LocalizingClientResourcesWalkthrough\cs\Default.aspx 2

I followed the instructions in the readme.txt file and the files are unzipped into the C:\AJAX Documentation folder.

Problem installing the AJAX Control Toolkit

I tried a search and didn't come up with my key words. I downloaded the ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions 1.0 and installed it without problems. I can start up Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition and now I'm able to choose "AJAX enabled website" from the create website menu.

The problem comes along when I try to install the AJAX Control Toolkit. I watched the second video in the AJAX series regarding how to install the toolkit. The guy unzipped the toolkit file and double clicked on the .sln file. When I do that, VWD opens up but throws up an error message ....

The application for project 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions\AJAX Control Toolkit\AjaxControlToolkit\AjaxControlToolkit.csproj ' is not installed.
Make sure the application for the project type (.csproj) is installed.

Did anyone come across this issue? I know I can't be the only one.

TIA for your help.

there's no need to install the AjaxControlToolkit. After you unzip the downloaded file, just find the AjaxControlToolkit.dll in their sample folder (Bin) and copy that file to your current Bin folder.

Forgive the ignorance, but what do you mean by the current bin directory? Currently, this is the path on my computer where the website (that I'm developing with VWD Express) resides....

C:\Documents and Settings\Paul\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\WebSites\Website1\

Under there, there's the App_Data folder, but no bin folder. Do I create a bin folder directly under my folder and just throw in that file? Or would this bin folder that you speak of, somewhere else on the computer? And once I put this file in the right place, the AJAX web controls related to the toolkit will show up in the panel in VWD (I imagine I'd have to restart VWD)?

Thanks in advance.

Never mind, I got the controls to show up on the toolkit panel in VWD Express by adding a tab and adding in the controls referenced by AjaxControlToolkit.dll. They now are accessible in the panel to be used. I will experiment with the new AJAX Controls in a bit.

A question.... when creating a website that I want to incorporate with AJAX, must I choose "ASP.NET AJAX-Enabled Web Site"? Or can I choose either that or the regular "ASP.NET Web Site"? The reason I ask is, all those AJAX related controls are available for me to use regardless of which kind of website I choose at the beginning.

Thanks.

Problem installing the Toolkit

I read the post (http://forums.asp.net/t/1149177.aspx) which pointed to a video to help with the installation.

I downloaded the video and followed the instructions (Create the VSI file in VS 2005; run the VSI) however I am not seeing the toolkit as a template as the video indicates.

I checked the \My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual C# directory and the AjaxControlExtenderProjectCS.zip file exists within the directory. I am assuming that this should then show up under the 'my templates' section when I click to the web project.

I have checked the options in VS 2005 and for the "Visual Studio user project templates location" it points to the above directory.

It seems like something is simply misconfigured within VS2005 unless there is something else I need to do with the zip file prior to getting this to work.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Your configurations are correct.

Please note that the template will be shown in "My Templates" when you select Visual C#, and not listed in any child categories.

Hope this helps.

Problem installing...

Everything goes fine, until it wants to install IIS.

See below.

So, what am I supposed to do?

Also, where is a good place to start to learn Atlas, I already know CSS and some basic PHP.

Thanks.

Basically it is saying it needs IIS installed. So, as suggested, install IIS.

But how? I do as it says by not installing the .asbx whatever, and then it says it comepltes correctly.

If I try again and say to install the file extention, it cancels ot of the install.

Is IIS a seperate install?

Yes, go into Add or Remove Programs, click "Add/Remove Windows Components" and check IIS. (Note: IIS is not avaliable on Windows XP Home Edition)

I've got XP Pro, but my brother has the diskbooklet that has the XP Pro disk...And he's 5 hours away at college.

Any way I can get it from somewhere like Windows Update?

My XP is 100% legal.

No, you need it from an XP Professional Installation CD, or the Network installation location. Basically, you need the contents of the CD, but it doesn't have to be from a CD. If the CD was copied to the HD, that will work too.
