Failed Debugging with IIS7

Yesterday I ran into an issue when I was debugging a web application that I was building. It was debugging but as soon as I installed the “Not So” RAD Controls on my machine and restarted Visual Studio, I was lucky enough to receive this error every time I wanted to debug and step through my application:

Debugging Failed Because Integrated Windows Authentication Is Not Enabled iis 7

I wasn’t sure if it was the “Not So” RAD Controls or something else. So I went to Google and did a search for my error and came across this page. Very helpful as apparently at that time, my computer realized that I needed that patch. Weird but it worked so if you run across this, get the hotfix from Microsoft.

Vista, IIS 7, and ASP.NET 1.1 Playing Nice Together

Well this didn’t take long. I ran into a problem today with trying to get an old 1.1 project to open on my Vista machine and nothing was working. I did some digging and found this article:

How to Enable ASP.NET 1.1 on IIS7

You do need to do a restart after installing the 2 .NET 1.1 updates but it’s worth it.
