I had troubles to deploy the framework to my host. Solution is working nicely on my local IIS, but not on my host. It's a shared host, with pretty limited remote controls. Since I am not an IIS expert, I stuggled a bit with few things that are probably quite
obvious to someone with better IIS skills:
- The trust level of the account in the shared host is typically set to "medium". It must be set to "full" for Microsoft Sync Framework to work.
- It is not possible to remotely install the Sync Framework to the web host. This is quite problematic for the required com object that must be registered to the registry.
- The remote IIS app pool may be configured to “Enable 32-Bit Applications” which causes one additionnal surprise.
It took me a little while to figure the whole thing out, but at the end got the solution working. I though I'd share my findings. I wrote a bit more explanations
here. In the hope that it helps some newbies to get started!
