Microsoft.Web name space missed in XP - windows

am trying to use ServerManager class but I found that "Microsoft.Web.Administration" and "Web.Management.Server" are not found on XP OS.
Any help to download Microsoft.Web.Management dll or any other suggestions ?
am using VS2010 on XP machine.

These namespaces are available for IIS 7 and later. There is no way to implement them on downlevel platforms.
In order to code against IIS 5.1 (Windows XP) or IIS 6 (Windows Server 2003) please see the following:
IIS Programmatic Administration SDK

What helped me to solve the same issue is installing
"Web Services Enhancements (WSE) 2.0 SP3 for Microsoft .NET Redistributable Runtime MSI"

Hopefully this will help someone else ...

You should try reinstalling windows and see if that fixes it, since IIS should be there.

ADO Windows With SP1 and VB6

I've been reading about the GUIDs changing for ADO/MDAC in Windows 7 service pack1 for VB6 apps. I need to recopile my compontents and replace the deprecated ones with the new one. My question is if my VB6 app is only going to be installed on windows 7 with service pack 1 or windows 2008 with the latest service pack will my VB6 app still work or do I still need to install something else too?
The updates you need to fix this problem are here.
This blog post explains a bit more about what happened and how they DRASTICALLY (Microsoft's emphasis) underestimated the number of developers that would be re-compiling ADO applications on Win7 SP1.

Which Windows versions have preinstalled MSINET.OCX control

I have an old VB6 application that depends on MSINET.OCX. I'd like to know if I can distribute this application without registering MSINET OCX component. My target OSes are XP, Vista and Windows 7. Do all of them have this component preinstalled?
See if this information from technet helps you. The short of it seems to be that it does not come preinstalled, it is installed when you install an application that uses it. You will need to include it in your installation.
It's not shipping with the OS. It is however delivered with Visual Basic. You must include it within your application setup. For details on Vista and Win7 support see: Support Statement for Visual Basic 6.0 on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7

Can I use Windows XP for Windows Azure development

I have got the Windows Azure Platform account.
Fot he development with Windows Azure, can I use computer with Windows XP Professional.
If not what environment should i set to start working with Windows Azure, and migrating existing web projects to Windows Azure.
Regards.
Pravin.
Since azure uses Windows Server 2008 SP2/R2 as it's core OS, you will need at least Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 to come close to mimicking the environment in Azure. If you are in a situation where you cannot upgrade your OS then you should look at utilizing a VM for development/testing purposes.
To answer your question, yes you can hack together a solution, is it pretty, no. Would I do it, no way. I also find that I like Windows 7 a lot better than XP or Vista, but I am also work for the man so I am jaded.

Which version of Windows 7 should I install on my development PC?

I am a .net and java deloper. I have an MSDN subscription with access to all editions of the Windows 7 operating system. I am going with a 64 bit installation. Which edition of Windows 7 should I install on my development PC: Professional, Ultimate, Enterprise, Enterprise N, etc.? Thanks in advance.
Put Ultimate on the box and run the others in virtual machines.
If you have access to all versions, I see no reason not to install Ultimate.
As long as your tools run on the OS it shouldn't matter
(btw: I'm running ultimate and it's working out fine)
I think you should use Vista, or even XP for developing your .Net Apps
the reason is your apps have to be backward compatible.
Remember most users still use XP.
And you cant sell your app to an XP user even if your app is very clever, because they cant install it.
And at last .Net is Platform independ , you can use it on which ever windows version you want. (even for Linux)
(excluded windows 3, 98)
