Create IIS Virtual Folder - ASP.NET 4.0

[stcvisix]

I have upgraded to IA 9 R2 to get .NET 4.0 framework support. Our web applications have been upgraded to ASP.NET 4.0 but I cannot select ASP.NET 4.0 in the Create IIS Virtual Folder script command. I have reviewed the white papers and found no mention. Am I missing something really obvious? Thank You.

What happens when Default is selected?

[stcvisix]

Default behaves as expected, the ASP.NET version specified by the parent (web site in this case), is inherited. However, just because .NET 4 is installed doesn't mean that the root web site is using (or is allowed to use) ASP.NET 4 at a customer's location. My question really has to do with the Create IIS Virtual Folder ASP.NET version parameter values offered by the IA 9 R2 UX:

Default,
1.1.4322
2.0.50727

but no 4.0.30319 in the list. Is this ommission intentional? We can make the aspnet_regiis call part of our configuration wizard that launches AFTER the IA MSI but just wanted to make sure I'm not overlooking something obvious in IA.

I will need this feature too. I have clients where the default .NET runtime is still set to 2.0.

thanks!

This will be addressed in the next update - I have added it as a bug in our .NET 4 support.

Is there an anticipated date for the next update? I have held off on migrating from IA8 to IA9 because of this and I need to coordinate with my QA department when I upgrade a development tool. Knowing an approximate release date would allow me to schedule the upgrade at the right time.

thank you,

This is actually already in the latest update for InstallAware 9 R2 (9.1 SP3).
