I've just installed MVC3.0 on a fresh PC using the new web installer application and was surprised at how long it seemed to be taking. Digging around a bit deeper I remembered that in the options I'd selected to use IIS rather than IIS Express and taking a quick look at the service panel highlighted that IIS was currently stopped. I restarted IIS and the MVC3.0 installation finished in seconds!
So if you're having problems installing MVC3.0 then just take a moment to check that IIS is started.
Thanks for the info Paul. My MVC 3 installation was taking ages. Just di what u said and bam, done!
ReplyDeleteMe too, thanks!
ReplyDeleteActually, it requires VS 2010 in the DVD drive
ReplyDeleteHi Goran, great that sorted the issue for you - I've not come across that one before. I usually install from virtual ISO images and they are unmounted once finished with but definitely worth watching out for if starting IIS doesn't sort the issue.
ReplyDeleteThanks heaps.. Your post was the only one online that helped. I just did a "iisreset /restart" from the visual studio 2010 command line(run as admin) on a windows 8.1 machine to restart the web server and it worked. THanks again
