Installing ASP+ on NT4
I have to support NT4 machines running IIS4.
My question: will it be possible to install ASP+ on these machines, with
little fuss (a few dlls, just like a regular app install) ?
OR is it a big deal, like ASP+ runs on only Win2000, or IIS5, or some other
big shakeup is needed.
My point is that I can probably do an application-like install the NT4 servers,
but I will not be able to mess significantly with the configuration.

There's no way to install ASP+ on NT4 - it's designed to run on W2K.

Yes, I have seen it done. Yes, some of the stuff does not work properly.
No, it is not a good idea, unless you are prepared to reinstall your OS after
you finish playing.
If you really want to go down this path, someone has posted semi-instructions
on the p2p.wrox.com site, under the C# group.
Personally, I would download a trial copy of Windows 2000 and put it on an
extra machine rather than attempt this on NT 4, but it is your decision.

They claim the final release will run on NT4 but the pre-release does not.
Check out www.vmware.com. You can install a Win2K VM under NT 4.0 perhaps
to test.
