Installing .net framework on Amazon EC2 windows server 2012 - amazon-ec2

Need help on how to install quickbooks on amazon ec2 server.
I already installed the quickbooks enterprise 2014 but now i need to access the server by sharing it by accessing it via internet from our network.
I have found this http://www.qodbc.com/QODBCrds.htm and apparently when i tried to install it and execute it already ask for .net framework 3.5 which i cannot install.
Some says I have to execute this command
dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /all /Source:d:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess
but I notice that it points to a source file of the windows install which i think i dont have since it is installed via ec2.

If you're planning to install the QB client locally and the server remotely, that won't work. QB doesn't tolerate internet latency, and this could result in corruption of your company file, if it works at all.

Installing IISPowershellSnapin.26IISPowershellSnapin.exe doesn't succeed

I have downloaded the IIS Powershell snapin IISPowershellSnapin.26IISPowershellSnapin.exe
Unfortunately installing on a windows 2012 Remote desktop doesn't succeed.
The error is:
Microsoft Webinstaller couldn't find the product you tried to install.
Either the link you clicked is incorrect or you may be overwriting
your feed with different feed.
I have downloaded it from the site:
http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/powershell
The manual gives the following Prerequisites:
The IIS PowerShell Snap-in requires the following prerequisites:
•Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista Service
Pack 1, or Windows 7 •Microsoft PowerShell 1.0 or 2.0
So nothing is said about Windows Server 2012.
Is there another executable for Windows Server 2012 or is there another problem.
http://www.iis.net/learn/manage/powershell/installing-the-iis-powershell-snap-in
I have allready checked whether the IIS Management Console is installed and it is installed.
Maybe this executable needs internet connection to install?
On our RDP we have no internet connection so this could be the cause as well.
Simply don't. PSSnapIns are obsolete; everything runs on modules now. The IIS Snap-In has been superseded by the WebAdministration module, which provides a superset of functionality.
Install the module on a >2008R2 server with the following PS:
Add-WindowsFeature Web-Scripting-Tools
This will not cause a service interruption. If it needs a reboot, it will tell you so. You might need to restart your PowerShell console, although this is unnecessary in my experience. After installation, run the cmdlet:
Import-Module WebAdministration

IIS 8 Error when Installing Octopus Deploy Server on Windows Server 2012

I wonder if anyone has encountered the above issue:
I was able to install the server successfully but when it comes to run the utility that configures the octopus settings, I get the following error
One or more windows features need to be enabled before continuing.
and then I get this afterwards:
"DISM.exe /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:IIS-ASPNET
/FeatureName:IIS-NetFxExtensibility /ALL"
In order to enable the missing feature.
This has now been done successfully. But everytime i try to run Octopus deploy administrative tool I keeping getting the same error.
Is there something I'm missing regarding components I need to have on to the 2012 windows server.
I have never encountered the errors you are mentioning. That said, have you performed a full GUI install of Octopus Deploy, or just the server core? To make it work properly on Windows Server 2012 you need to do a full GUI install.
This must be quite an old version of Octopus - only the 1.x versions required IIS to install the Octopus server (and I don't think it supported Server Core).
The 2.x and 3.x versions don't use IIS (we are a self-hosted NancyFX service).

I can't install Lync 2010 at windows server 2008 R2

I'm still trying to install Microsoft Lync at VM Windows Server 2008. But its always failed at "Prepare first Standard Edition Server". The error message is this.
"Checking prerequisite SqlExpressRtc.. installing...failure code -2068578304".
Is anybody know how to solve it? I try to search on google, but still failed. I also try to uninstall my sql server, still failed.. :D
thanks.
This issue is because you are trying to install SQLServer 2008 Express Edition prerrequisite on a Domain Controller, and the Lync Server setup always try to install SQL Server Express with NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService account to Start the service, and this isn't allowed in a Domain Controller.
You need to execute manually the stament to install SQL Server 2008 Express edition, but changing the NetworkService account for SYSTEM account (or a domain account) ... would be something like this:
"C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Lync Server\Deployment\cache\4.0.7577.0\SQLEXPR_x64.exe" /ACTION=Install /FEATURES=SQLEngine,Tools /INSTANCENAME=RTC /TCPENABLED=1 /SQLSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="Builtin\Administrators" /BROWSERSVCSTARTUPTYPE="Automatic" /AGTSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService" /SQLSVCSTARTUPTYPE=Automatic

Installing Xampp on MS Windows Server 2003

I have a Windows Server 2003 and asp.net website running on localhost. I have to install php and mysql, but php installation doesn't work for whatever reason. I was wondering if I could install package such as xampp on windows server to save time and hassle installing in manually (I could not find a tutorial for this). I was wondering though, if it is safe, i.e. what will happen if I go to http://localhost/ - will I get the php or asp website? In general, is it safe to install xampp on windows server 2003? All advice greatly appreciated.
Yeah, it's safe to install both. What you do is bind one to one port and the other to another port, so IIS is port 80 and Apache is port 81 or whatever, http://localhost/ would go to IIS and http://localhost:81/ would go to apache.
Microsoft got a detailed oficial instructionpage for PHP on IIS under h**p://php.iis.net/
You probably got IIS 6 running on that Windows 2003 Server. The following article describes how to run PHP apps
http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/247/using-fastcgi-to-host-php-applications-on-iis-60/
If you have no experience with XAMPP or Apache Webserver I wouldn't recommend to install it... especially on a production system.

step into web service on another LAN server

I'm debugging a vb.net windows program which I've upgraded to a VS 2010 solution, targeting Framework 2. I need to step into a webservice's code. The web service is framework 3.5, also vb.net, running on a windows 2003 server on our LAN. I've seen a ton of crap on the Net about it, mostly other people who couldn't get it working either.
The error I get in VS2010 is the exact same one I got before upgrading the project from VS 2005:
Unable to automatically step into the server. Connecting to the server
machine [servername] failed. The Microsoft Visual Studio
Remote Debugging Monitor (MSVSMON.EXE) does not appear to be
running on the remote computer. Please see Help for assistance.
So I did what Help said to do and ran the VS 2008 remote debugging wizard on the host server. I have verified that the remote debugger is running as a service on that machine. And it still fails.
Little help? THANKS
Just in case anyone comes here looking for this answer, here it is. No goofy 'Attach to Process', no weird bad instructions
from websites going off on a million stupid tangents. This answer has been FALKENIZED.
When on the same LAN and on the same domain, remote debugging from Visual Studio 2010 works when you do the following steps.
on web service host machine, share the web application folder where the web service lives; give yourself 755 permissions.
oops, give yourself wrxr permissions.
on local development machine, map a network drive to the [web service host machine][web app] folder you just shared.
copy the Visual Studio 2010 remote debugger folder (containing msvsmon.exe + support files) to web service host machine.
Make sure you get the correct platform for your host server, e.g. x86, x64, etc. Remote debugger is found here:
C:\Program Files\Visual Studio 2010\Common7\IDE\Remote Debugger[platform]
on web service host machine, drag a shortcut from the newly-copied debugger to the desktop, then start the remote debugger
on local development machine, step thru code. when reaching a call to the web service, you'll be prompted to navigate
to the location of requested web service code file, which will then be available in your mapped path. Do it.
Finally after 1000000 headaches, you may start debugging your web service. CONGRATULATIONS
