Applications that run on IIS6 will also run on IIS7/WS 2008 in what we call classic mode. You should check out Mike's article on breaking changes for ASP.NET 2.0 apps on IIS7, though, to make sure that your app will not run into these situations: mvolo.com/.../IIS-7.0-Breaking-Changes-ASP.NET-2.0-applications-Integrated-mode.aspx.

VB6 and ASP is also supported on Server 2008/IIS7.

So will IIS 6.0 run stable on Windows Server 2008?

Hi, TKent: IIS7 will not run on Windows Server 2003. IIS7 is a significant upgrade of the web server. In this blog, I talked about a couple of upgrade scenarios from Windows Server 2003 to IIS7 on Windows Server 2008. But there is no ability to run IIS7 itself on Windows Server 2003. IIS7 only runs on Windows Server 2008.

Thanks,

Hi, Ambionix:

There is not a VHD version that you can download.

Thanks,

Can you please clarify whether IIS 7.0 will run on Windows Server 2003 and, if so, provide a link to a URL where IIS 7.0 can be downloaded for installation on Win Server 2003? I just read a posting by Scott Guthrie from April 2007 (weblogs.asp.net/.../iis-7-0.aspx) where he seems to indicate that IIS 7.0 will never be able to run on Windows Server 2003. This page (blogs.iis.net/.../windows-server-2008-rc0-available-now.aspx) seems to indicate that IIS 7.0 can be installed and run on Win Server 2003.

Thanks.

I want to learn this stuff. I have tried. But I don't know why I can not put the server.

I will keep trying.

Are the two upgrade issues/limitations permanent or are there plans to change this in future RC versions or the shipping version?
