Questions tagged [aspnet-regiis.exe]

Aspnet_regiis.exe is the ASP.NET IIS Registration Tool. It is used to register ASP.NET applications with Internet Information Services (IIS)

When multiple versions of the Framework are executing side-by-side on a single computer, the ASP.NET version mapped to an ASP.NET application determines which version of the common language runtime () is used for the application. The ASP.NET IIS Registration Tool (Aspnet_regiis.exe) allows an administrator or installation program to easily update the script maps for an ASP.NET application to point to the ASP.NET ISAPI version that is associated with the tool.

The tool can also be used to display the status of all installed versions of ASP. NET, register the ASP.NET version that is coupled with the tool, create client-script directories, and perform other configuration operations.
