5.26. Installing Visual Studio .NET 2003 before installing ASP.NET on Windows Server 2003 prevents creation of Visual J# .NET Web applications.The Visual J# .NET Redistributable Package is installed as part of the Visual Studio .NET Prerequisites setup during Visual Studio .NET 2003 installation. When you install Visual Studio .NET 2003 before installing ASP.NET, the Visual J# .NET Redistributable Package setup does not update the Internet Information Services (IIS) ScriptMaps metabase property to prevent J# files (with .jsl, .java, and .vjsproj extensions) from being downloaded. On Windows Server 2003, installing IIS does not install ASP.NET by default. Installing Visual Studio .NET 2003 before installing ASP.NET on Windows Server 2003 can lead to this situation.To resolve this issue
5.27. Do not install different language versions of Visual Studio .NET 2003 and Visual Studio .NET 2002 on the same computer.Visual Studio .NET functionality is impaired when Visual Studio .NET 2003 is installed on a computer with a different language version than Visual Studio .NET 2002.
