Portal install fails, but I think I have all req'd components Messages   Related Types This message was discovered on ASPFriends.com 'aspngibuyspy' list. Barry L. Camp I hope someone can help me here. My install of IBS (PortalVB_VS_0204.exe) fails with the message: The IBuySpy samples are written in ASP.Net and require the.NET Framework, SQL Server or MDSE, and IIS . Please install the missing components before installing this sample. I don't believe anything is missing, however. I am running: WinXP Pro IIS 5.1 which came with WinXP Pro VS.NET Pro MSDE which came with VS.NET Pro I created an administrator user named ASPNET, per the advice in other posts in this newsgroup. I have installed the MS Mobile Internet Toolkit. My logs shows only the following 12:46:03 PM Saturday, August 03, 2002: [Checking system requirements] 12:46:04 PM Saturday, August 03, 2002: [Pass] Detected a local instance of SQL Server. And that's it - it stops right there. Anyone got any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Barry L.

Enterprise version has a CD with SQL Server as one of the disks... not sure about Pro version. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Barry L.

Camp I have MSDE... it is essentially SQL Server minus Enterprise Manager. Even so, I still have the functionality of Enterprise Manager through VS.NET's Server Explorer. Can anyone else help? I can't believe the installer is so poor that it can't identify the components I have. There must be some way I can get this to work. Anyone?

When this happens, I find it easier to just manually install the portal. Have you tried following the steps at (http://www.asp.net/ibuyspy/InstallationNotes.aspx)?

Camp Alex, I did not try the steps explicitly, but I suppose in trying to install the VB/VS sample was attempting step #1, which failed with the error message I described earlier. Since that didn't work, I don't understand what else I can do, or am supposed to do. (BTW, I also posted my original note in the WestMichigan .NET Group board) "Alex Lowe" <Click here to reveal e-mail address> wrote in message news:693391@aspngibuyspy... [Original message clipped] Reply to this message...        Alex Lowe So, do you have a folder on your C:\ drive called 'PortalVBVS'?

Camp That helped me to install the files. Thanks! Now I have a different problem. It won't run. IIS died with an "unexpected error 0x8ffe2740 occurred" message. I think it may be because of the blasted FrontPage extensions. I don't understand why we have to use those. I have another question, too: While I have a virtual web set up pointing to C:\PortalVBVS\PortalVBVS, aren't I supposed to have the actual web files underneath inetpub? Won't IIS (when I fix it) always ask me to download my files insead of opening them up in the browser? "Steve" <Click here to reveal e-mail address> wrote in message news:693401@aspngibuyspy...
