Hi,

Thanks for all the suggestions.

I will install IIS as part of Windows installation and make sure its part is
being updated along with all Windows components.

After that, I will also make sure .Net environment has been installed and
updated.

Then move to other development components, such as Data Access SDK and so on
before moving to applications.

Thanks again and please let me know if any has other comments or
suggestions.
