Frontpage server extensions install problem - visual-studio-2010

Here is the antenced of my story
I've got a problem with the VS or IIS. I don't know.
When in the Visual Studio 2010 I try to create website: throw up the follow errormessage:
Unable to create the Wet site'http://www.ecommerce.com'. The Web server does not appear to have FrontPage Server Extensions installe.
I download the Frontpage extension from here: http://www.iis.net/community/default.aspx?tabid=34&g=6&i=1630
Then I read how can it install, but when the article write that:
To extend a Web site using HTML Administration pages on Windows, use the following steps:
Click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Microsoft SharePoint Administrator to open the Server Administration page.
In the list of virtual servers, click Extend next to the virtual server you want to extend.
In the Administrator box, type the user name for the administrator of the virtual server.
Click Submit.
I don't find Microsoft SharePoint Administrator on my Windows 7 Profesionnal 64 bit
or
You can extend a Web site by using the command-line tools, owsadm or owsrmadm. These tools are located in the "%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\50\bin" folder. To extend a Web site, use the install operation, which takes the following parameters.
I don't find the Web Server Extennsions dir on my Windows 7 Profesionnal 64 bit
I have read another article where write that, Use the Visual Studio DVD go to WCU dir and into the Web Server ... dir, but I don't find...
I download the FPSE and install with my local Administration account.
But the Visaul Studio Always says: The WEb server does not appear to haver FPSE installed.
How can I fix it? Install it?

Bad news (may not be so bad): FPSE for IIS 7 and 7.5 are not supported. Alternative is to use WebDav and here's an article explaining how to migrate FPSE Sites to WebDAV.
Good News (may not be so good due to licensing part): As of December 18, 2010, Ready-to-Run Software Inc. has created Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions (FPSE) 2002 for IIS 7 and 7.5.
See this announcement from MS: FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions for IIS 7.0 on Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista

If the FrontPage Server Extensions are installed, this error may occur because the _vti_bin virtual directory is not marked executable. To correct this problem, run the Internet Service Manager, select the Web server having the problem, and use the Check Server Extensions task.

Sharepoint 2013 Farm Visual Studio cannot connect

I have Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 and SharePoint Designer installed on my local machine. I have a SharePoint installed on a server farm that i have full read and write permissions on. My problem is when i try to create the project the wizard to connect to the SharePoint will not show up and it says i need it installed on my local machine. I have read many forums posts such as
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/5853a07e-e033-43ab-929b-f5766354fea9/cannot-connect-to-sharepoint-2013-farm-with-office-tools-for-visual-studio-2012?forum=sharepointdevelopment
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj220047(v=office.15).aspx
along with others these are just the ones still open in my browser. I would love some help or a proper tutorial because the ones i am finding are no help and im not seeing anything besides a error message saying i cannot create a project until i install foundation or server for sharepoint
This is a case where the error message means exactly what it says. You must install SharePoint on your development machine in order to use Visual Studio for local SharePoint development. You can develop on Windows Server 2008/2013 (most common solution I've seen), install SharePoint on your Windows 7/8 machine (which is painful to do but possible), or set up a remote environment for development after signing up for an Office 365 Developer Site.
After hours of searching I found a work around for anyone who is running into this problem... You need to make a web reference to the SharePoint site then you can access the XML and do it that way. Microsoft hides the option its under service reference then you click web reference add the URL and a easily called name add it and your good to go.

by the way my os is windows 7 64 bit,and I use visual studio 2010.
FrontPage server extensions (FSE) is a server side package that FrontPage and some other Microsoft applications use to upload files to web sites. FSE must be installed on the server in order for these applications to upload files. FSE has nothing to do with Microsoft desktop products directly. It is often installed on Apache systems, for example. cPanel has an option to install it, if you are using that to manage your server.
IIS should come with FSE already installed, AFAIK. That would certainly make sense, with it being a Microsoft product.

Automatic installer for a web app on Windows 7 (or higher)

I have a web application implemented in ASP.NET MVC3 and SQL Server 2008 Express. It's relatively small so I can deploy it in local computer of my clients (Windows 7 or higher).
Currently, I deploy it manually by create new web site in IIS, copy published files to the folder of website, install SQL Server 2008R2 and use Management Studio to restore database with some initial data.
It's OK with me but not with my clients. They can't do the same things. What I want is an automatic installer, my clients just need to click a few buttons to get all done.
Specifically, this automatic installer must do the following things:
Install SQL Server 2008R2 Express and restore the initial database.
Install IIS7 (if it's not enabled in Windows 7).
Create a new app pool (V4) and a new Web Site use this pool. Then copy published files to the folder of the Web Site.
The installler can run aspnet_regiis command and grant permission for NETWORK SERVICE account to TEMP folder. This is required for web site to run.
The installer can copy some fonts to Font folder of Windows.
I see many app can do this automatic installer, but after googling I can't find a thorough solution to try.
Please give me some advice on this. Thanks in advance!
If you want a free solution, WiX is what you need, but it will take you some time to learn using it if you never created a package with it.
A more easy to use, and also powerful, but payed tool, is Advanced Installer, you need Professional edition, but you can try it for free with the 30 days trial mode. It has predefined prerequisite for SQL Server Express, built-in support to install IIS entities, and set file/folder permissions. Bassically all the requirements you need.
To enable any IIS feature you can simply add a PowerShell script.

Installing IIS on Windows 7 Home Basic

I have a ASP.NET application and I would like to deploy it on a webserver.
So I searched for a some tutorials and most of them tell to enable the IIS Management Console in control panel.But I don't have such an entry in there.
So I guessed that I have some component missing(jigsaw) and used the MS WebPI utility to install IIS components and other things even remotely connected to web development.
I have installed
Web deploy 3.0
IIS Express 7.5
.NET framework 4
and MS web tools for Visual studio 2010.
Still no luck.Run>inetmgr still fails.There is no inetpub folder anywhere.(I expected something like apache htdocs folder)
Excuse me for the newbie question.I am in windows7 home basic.
You are NOT able to use full-fledged IIS with Windows 7 Home Basic.
According to MSDN IIS7 installed on Windows 7 Home Basic is too limited and you won't be able to run ASP.Net application there. IIS Management Console is also unavailable on Windows 7 Home Basic.
I think that you can try IIS Express and all-in-one WebMatrix solution. WebMatrix provides you with a neat interface to start /stop / restart IIS Express and to edit some of IIS Express settings.

Deploying ASP.NET 2.0 to IIs7

How to deploy my ASP.NET website to IIS7? I'm using Visual Studio 2005. And I don't know where to start.
I tend to take more of a manual approach, but there is a web publish feature built into Visual Studio that should get you going.
Here is some reading you can do on it:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/VSDeploy.aspx
Here's some preliminary steps, a little more manual than some other options, but they are the ones I'm comfortable with:
Obtain access to the server where IIS7 is installed. If you don't have IIS7 installed on a server, install it. If you are not able to get access to this server, you will need to have the administrator of that server set up IIS7.
Create the website in IIS that you want to deploy to, or have the server administrator create an empty website for you to run your website on.
Use the 'publish' feature in Visual Studio to build a deployable version of your site. This is what you will install on IIS7.
Copy paste the website over to the server where IIS7 is installed. You will need to place it in a directory which you can set as the Home Directory for the site.
If you have access to the server, and rights to administer IIS7, set the Home Directory of the site to point at the directory where you copied over your files.
Enable the website, and you should be good to go!
NOTES:
These instructions assume the following:
a) You have some basic knowledge of how to configure IIS7 (or at least access to somebody who does)
b) You have some basic knowledge of how to install IIS7 if it is not installed (or access to somebody who does)
c) You have some basic knowledge on web site publishing from Visual Studio
If you need more instructions on these 3 notes, you may wish to consult the references for IIS7 and Visual Studio.
