    I'm trying to set up a test environment for a web service which is compiled under the .NET 3.5 framework (there will also be a Silverlight 2 app that uses this WS on the same box, so 3.5 is necessary).

    I've downloaded the dotnetfx35.exe installer to the WHS machine, have run it successfully, and everything appears to have worked fine. However, I do not have the "3.5" option under the ASP.NET tab of the virtual directory in IIS...I only have 1.1 and 2.0.

    Is WHS unable to use .NET 3.5, or am I missing something?

    Thanks!

    That is correct. The Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 is an extension on 2.0.
    Just select "2.0" for the website under IIS and your Framework 3.5 compiled web applications will run just fine.

    Hello Chris,

    maybe this helps (from http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/a/e/9ae0f6cc-7032-408e-9ca7-989f9e4af4ec/dotNetReadMe.htm):

    2.1.4. .NET Framework 3.5 installation might not configure IIS correctly on Windows XP or Windows Server 2003

    Installation of .NET Framework 3.5 will not configure IIS correctly on Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 if IIS is already installed and the IIS Admin Service is disabled.

    To resolve this issue:

    Do the following things after you install .NET Framework 3.5.

    1. On the Start menu, click Run.
    2. Type "cmd" and then press ENTER.
    3. Type "sc config iisadmin start= auto" and then press ENTER.
    -or-
    1. On the Start menu, click Run.
    2. Type "services.msc" and then press ENTER.
    3. Select the IIS Admin Service from the list. If the Startup Type is Disabled, right-click IIS Admin Service and then click Properties. Change Startup Type to Automatic.
    4. In %WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\, run WFServicesReg.exe /c.  (On 64-bit computers, the path is %WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v3.5\.)

    Best greetings from Germany
