An incorrect version of the .NET Framework is detected

  • Article

The information in this article applies to:

  • Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server

  • Visual Studio Team System 2008 Team Foundation Server

  • Windows Server 2003

  • Windows Server 2008 

  • SQL Server and SQL Server 2008

  • Health check

The Best Practices Analyzer tool for Team Foundation Server checks that all Web sites and virtual directories on the application-tier server are running under ASP.NET 2.0. An error appears if a different version of ASP.NET is running. The error contains the name of the Web site and the path of the virtual directory.

To resolve this issue, open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager on the application-tier server, and change the ASP.NET version for the reported Web site and virtual directory.

Note

On computers that are running Windows Server 2008, the ASP.NET version is assigned to the application pool under which the application runs.

Required Permissions

To perform these procedures, you must be a member of the Administrators security group on the application-tier server for Team Foundation.
