Change the framework version without restarting the W3SVC service

September 13, 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments

When changing the .NET version on the ASP.NET tab of IIS, this popup appears, asking to restart IIS, or run aspnet_regis -norestart to change the scriptmap without restarting.

1. Download metabase explorer, as part of the IIS6 resource kit here

2.  Run Metabase explorer, Select LM then W3SVC

3. Find the ID that matches the site you want to upgrade

4. Go to C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv4.0.30319 with Command Prompt

5. type aspnet_regiis.exe -norestart -s W3SVC/<ID>/ROOT where <ID> is from step 4.

6. Clicking the ASP.NET tab in IIS, it should now be .NET 4.
