Can someone direct me to simple to follow instructions for installing the asp.net starter kits. I have downloaded the time schedule starter kit. When I unzip the file, I get folders and the welcome page. When I look inside the zip file there are many more files.
Much appreciated....Kevin Burns
Couple of things,If you are planning on having this site hosted on external host, they probably have "one click" installation scripts for you.If
you are trying to play with them on your local, Once you unzip you could one of these things1) Open the solution in either VS.net or Express Edition and access the page using the right URL (internally
points to your local!)Once you have loaded the Index page, it will give the remaining steps for you to follow (like running DB scripts, etc)
1) in VWD create a new Web Site and point it directly to your IIS local web server call it TimeTracker e.g.
http://localhost/TimeTracker (since I have problem getting VWD web server to work using the Beta release) this step will create a web site on your local IIS, you can do this manually too.
2) Unzip the file downloaded into the C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\TimeTracker and overwrite any files there.
3) Launch the site in IE e.g.
http://localhost/TimeTracker/Default.aspx
I am also having trouble installing the vsi file for the Time Tracker starter get. Maybe I'm not doing it correctly... I download the vsi file to my desktop, double-click the file, and it gives me the following error message:
"A problem occurred while running the installer. Please contact the content author for problems with the content."
"Error message: Windows class name is not valid"
I also encountered a similar prob. This is what I did and it worked fine.
Download the kit to C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual Web Developer folder and then extract the contents.

You can't get the solution direcltly, for that you have to open the web site in VS & built it,
So Solution will be created for that....
