I have just installed Orchard CMS for the first time using first the manual option and then the Web Platform Installer option. Both options left me with this ugly screen:
So anyway, it turns out that the application pool was set to .Net Framework 4.0 CLASSIC mode. I changed it to Integrated Mode, and now everything is pretty:

I'm not sure if this question is not allowed, in the structure that I am asking it. However, I want to know if there is a way to manually install ORCHARD CMS the same way I would manually install wordpress. I am a very adequate wordpress/joomla/linux developer but have been tasked with installing orchard.
I've never worked with a microsoft server, however have one set up through my hosting company. Can I just drop the the zip files in and it will work?
There are four ways you can install Orchard. You can:
Install it using the Microsoft Web Platform Installer.
Install it from Microsoft WebMatrix as shown in Working with Orchard in WebMatrix.
Download the Orchard .zip file and install it as described in Manually Installing Orchard Using a zip File.
Enlist in the Orchard source code and build Orchard from the command line or in Visual Studio.
This topic shows how to install Orchard using the Microsoft Web Platform Installer.
Requirements
The minimum requirements for running Orchard are the following:
ASP.NET 4.5
A web server such as IIS Express 8, 7.5 or IIS 7.x.
When installing IIS, make sure you enable the ASP.NET IIS modules. Also make sure that you run Orchard in an integrated pipeline ASP.NET 4 application pool.
Important: If you previously installed any pre-release versions of WebMatrix, ASP.NET Web Pages, or ASP.NET MVC 4, you should uninstall those products before Orchard will run correctly on your computer. To develop Orchard sites, many developers will want to use a database such as SQL Server, and a web page programming environment such as WebMatrix or Visual Studio 2013. The following installation was tested with a clean installation of Windows 8.1. It uses the Web Platform Installer and it includes Orchard, IIS 8.0 Express, and optional applications for Orchard development like WebMatrix and SQL Server Compact 4.0.
Installing Orchard
To begin, download and install the Web Platform Installer. When you're done, run it.
Find Orchard CMS and then click Add to include Orchard as an item to install.
Click Install. Accept the license terms in order to continue.
When the installation is complete, the dialog shows the list of installed tools in addition to Orchard. Click the Launch link to open the site in WebMatrix.
Running Orchard in WebMatrix
After WebMatrix starts, it should inmediately launch Orchard in the default browser. If not, you can launch Orchard by clicking the Run drop-down button, and selecting which browser to use. In WebMatrix you can click the Files workspace to see the contents of the Orchard site.
The first time Orchard is launched, you see in your browser the Orchard setup screen.
By default, Orchard includes a built-in database that you can use without installing a separate database server. However, if you are running SQL Server or SQL Server Express, you can configure Orchard to use either of those products instead by specifying a connection string. Optionally, you can enter a table prefix so that multiple Orchard installations can share the same database but keep their data separate.
The setup screen also includes a section where you can choose an Orchard recipe to set up your site. You can choose from the following Orchard recipes:
Default. Sets up a site with frequently used Orchard features.
Blog. Sets up a site as a personal blog.
Core. Sets up a site that has only the Orchard framework for development use.
I've just got a new server setup on Windows 2008 Web edition. I'm trying to set the first asp.net 4 application up on it but am having nothing but problems.
The latest is that I'm getting the 404.17 error, which says "the requested content appears to be script and will not be served by the static file handler.".
I've done a lot of research on google but most suggestions seem to be to run aspnet_regiis -i to install asp.net 4. I've done this several times both on the Framework and Framework64 folders, but with no success.
I tried changing from the default application pool to a .net4 application pool, which appeared to work at first and I instead got a server error to do with permissions. I fixed that, and immediately the 404.17 error returned.
Other suggestions I've read say to go into the "turn windows features on and off" and make sure .net 4 is selected there under IIS. However on this server clicking "turn windows features on and off" takes me to the standard windows 2008 server manager. I click "add features" there, and only ".NET Framework 3.0 Features (Installed)" is listed and selected. .NET 4 isn't shown there, yet it is selectable through the application pools.
What else can I try to get the website running as I'm at a complete loss now. Its annoying because my old server was easy to manage - I did it all through the server itself without a control panel (Windows 2003), now on my new server I have to manage most of it through Plesk because there is no dns.
Any help would be much appreciated.
I too had the same problem but solved it with simple solution. My program was in framework 4.0 but in application pool was mapped to framework 2.0.
Just changed the frame work in application pool to 4.0.
It worked.
I've finally figured out the problem, and it was to do with Plesk itself.
After delving through some of the thousands of links throughout the plesk control panel I found a page for "Website Scripting and Security". Under there it was set to .NET 2.0. However, even though I'd installed .NET 4 on the server, Plesk didn't know about it. Although the application pool I'd set the website to run under through IIS was .NET 4, it still wouldn't work for some reason.
I then found another page under "tools and settings" for server components, and on that page is a refresh button. Hit that and it suddenly realised that .NET 4 was installed, went back to the website scripting and security page, selected .NET 4, and hey presto, I got a server error (never have I been so glad to see a server error).
I then just had to give the application pool identity read access to the web folder, and the website worked.
I wish I'd paid an extra £15 per month for Windows 2008 Standard edition now so I could manage it all manually without Plesk.
Ensure that you are running this application under a Virtual Directory, also ensure that your IIS has ASP, ASP.Net, ISAPI Extensions And Filters, Static Content installed.
Change the .net framework from 'plesk' panel:
go to Domains
select then domain
Go to 'Domain and Websites & Domains'
Hide Advanced Operations
Go to 'Asp.net Settings'
Go to 'Change Version'
select 4.0
If you don't have the 4.0 option then you must install the framework on your server first.
I had a working IIS 7.5 with Web Deploy 3.5 configuration such that the "Import/Export Application" feature in the right hand action pane showed up and functioned properly. Unfortunately I had to remove and reinstall IIS, and now the Import/Export functionality does not show up in the Actions pane, as if Web Deploy was not installed.
I tried to reinstall using the automated installer at http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/web-deploy, but when I run it, the installer seems to think that Web Deploy is already installed and does not offer me any reinstall/uninstall option.
How can I force a reinstall of WebDeploy or force IIS to recognize that Web Deploy is still installed?
Go to http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/web-deploy
Scroll to the bottom of the page to the "Download Web Deploy" header
Click the x86 or x64 link next to your language of choice. Do not click the WebPI link.
Once downloaded, click on the installer to open it.
Click Next
Click the Remove button
Now you can reinstall it using the Web Platform Installer, or just use the standalone.
On a side note...
If you don't see the Deploy options in IIS once you've reinstalled Web Deploy, try running IIS as Administrator. Hope this helps.
I am running IIS on my development machine on Windows 7. Web Deploy 3.6 seem to break something as the Import / Export Application options are not available. Had to uninstall 3.6 via control panel add/remove programs and then install 3.5 via Web PI.
I've installed Web Deployment Tool 2.1 then restart IIS Manager and the Import/Export Application appeared.
I was running a 'gallery template' Windows Server 2012 VM on Azure. Web Platform Installer said Web Deploy 3.5 was already installed. At first I thought this neat feature had been removed/moved.
In Add/Remove Programs, saw that Web Deploy 3.6 Beta was installed. Removed it and reinstalled 3.5 (without SQL stuff) via Web PI.
Ran IIS Manager as admin and all works fine.
Update - A new Azure VM also had this problem, but had 3.6 Beta3 installed. Again, removed and reinstalled 3.5 via WebPI.
None of the other answers here fixed this for me with Visual Studio 17 on Windows 10. The fix was here: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/230372/web-deply-40-msi-location.html
Web Deploy 4 has moved to be distributed with Visual Studio 2017. This is nuts because the Web Deploy service and the Import/Export tools are for server administrators and not devs. The discussion in the link says they are working on adding Web Deploy 4 to the Web Platform Installer, but have encountered a few issues (read: we didn't create a proper deployment for it the first place.)
The fix for me was to uninstall Web Deploy 4 from Control Panel-Apps & features, then reinstall from the MSI provided with Studio. Look in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Packages for a folder like Microsoft.VisualStudio.WebDeploy.Msi,version=...,chip=x64. The MSI file is within that. More detail in the link I mentioned.
My guess is if the IIS Manager is not turned on at the time Studio (and therefore Web Deploy) is installed, the hook for Import/Export can't be created.
My situation is slightly different as I never had the import/export menus. For what it's worth:
I tried to install the Web Deploy installer. It said that a newer version was installed. I tried repairing Web Platform Installer. Nothing changed. I tried changing but was told there were individual components. I tried uninstall/reinstalling WebPlatformInstaller.
After that, the IIS Manager showed a Web Platform Installer icon under the Management section after restarting, but still no Deploy menu on the right click.
Double-clicking that icon started the installer where I could then search for web deploy. There was a Web Deployment Tool 2.1 that was not installed. Clicking Add then Install and restarting IIS Manager (not run As Administrator) was all that was needed to get the Deploy menu:
According to this Microsoft document, the Web Platform Installer should have started automatically. Never did. But it is in the start menu. The steps are the same weather you start it from IIS Manager or standalone.
i try to publish and i get an error
Error 1 Web deployment task failed. (The application pool that you are trying to use has the 'managedRuntimeVersion' property set to 'v2.0'. This application requires 'v4.0'. Learn more at: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=221672#ERROR_APPPOOL_VERSION_MISMATCH.) 0 0 HacmeBank_V2_Website
someone know how to resolve ?
thank you
It looks like your IIS settings are not matching.
If you go to your IIS Manager and navigate to Application Pools and look for the published(your Project name) folder
Select your Published project from the list
Click on Basic Settings from Actions pane
Change the .NET Framework Version to v4.0xxxxx
Had the same problem when installing Orchard CMS. Keep targeting v2.0.
But find the simple solution: in IIS, on the Application Pools (the list with all application pools), you can find the 2nd setting top right list: "Set Application Pool Defaults.." change there the default from 2.0 to 4.0 et, voila.
It sounds like your project is targeting the .net 4.0 framework, but there is a setting in your 'publish' flow that specifies .net 2.0
I've never published this way, but this error looks like something I've seen before integrating different libraries targeting different frameworks...
Solved:
All above didn't solve my problem , just changed Targeted Framework in visual studio from 4.5 to 4.5.1 and Problem Solved
I have just finished the development of a web service application in visual studio.
Is there an easy way to wrap it in an installer, so that I can just ship it off to technical support, and they can have a wizard based installer that will fully setup an IIS site for them, either in 6 or 7?
You can use Visual Studio's built in setup project. I've only tried this once on a test project, but it created all the necessary stuff in IIS 6 just fine.
I would suggest you export the IIS METABASE for your local instance of the service and then this can be imported into a new server to create the correct IIS configuration. Have a look at Copying IIS Configurations using iiscnfg.vbs The METABASE is just an XML file and you will easily see the specific values that allows you to edit them should the deployment be different in anyway.
