Determine ASP.NET root page

Sometimes when an ASP.NET page loads up from the root of a directory, the page name is not revealed via HTTP headers.  If it’s a webforms application, simply scroll down the Postback form section. (id=”aspnetForm”)

Look at the action attribute.  See the sample below.

<form name="aspnetForm" method="post" action="Home.aspx" id="aspnetForm">

Getting Crystal Reports XI Release 2 to install

 

I was facing some issues getting Crystal Reports XI Release 2 to install.   The installer was complaining that .NET 1.0 or 1.1 should be installed.   This was kind of a confusing message, since .NET 1.0 and 1.1 were both installed on the box.

The workaround is to uninstall all versions of .NET except 1.0 and 1.1 temporarily.  In my case I had to uninstall .NET 2.0, 3.0, and 3.5 to get this to work.  Once it was completed installing, I reinstalled all the uninstalled versions of .NET.
