Generated Application System Requirements

Once the application is ready for testing, you can copy the generated application to another server. Detailed instructions for deploying applications to test and production servers are elsewhere in the online help.

Component	Minimum Requirement
Server operating system	Windows 2003 Server Windows XP Professional, Service Pack 1 or later Windows XP Home, Service Pack 1 or later (local development machine only) Note: Windows XP Home will not run the Microsoft IIS web server. You must use the Microsoft ASP.NET Development Server if running under .NET Framework 2.0 or .NET Framework 3.0.
.NET Framework	.NET Framework 3.5 .NET Framework 3.0 .NET Framework 2.0 Generated applications will not run under: .NET Framework 1.1 .NET Framework 1.0 The .NET Framework Redistributable version is sufficient to run applications generated by Iron Speed Designer. If you wish to recompile your application on your production server, you will, however, need the .NET SDK. You can download the .NET Framework from: msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/downloads/default.aspx Note: Iron Speed Designer does not support the .NET Compact Framework.
Web server (for production)	Microsoft IIS 5.0 or later.
Microsoft Access Database	Microsoft Access 2003 Microsoft Access 2002 Microsoft Access 2000
Microsoft SQL Server Database	Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Workgroup Edition Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition Microsoft SQL Server 2000, Service Pack 3 or later Microsoft MSDE 2000, Service Pack 3 or later Notes: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition is not supported. Applications generated by Iron Speed Designer have not yet been certified to work with the 64 bit editions of Microsoft SQL Server.
Oracle Database	Oracle 10g including Oracle Net Services Oracle9i release 2 (9.2) or higher including Oracle Net Services.
MDAC	The default MDAC (Microsoft Data Access Components) driver installed with earlier versions of Microsoft Windows is not sufficient to run applications generated by Iron Speed Designer. Iron Speed Designer requires MDAC Version 2.6 or later. This driver is automatically updated if you have Microsoft SQL Server 2000 or MSDE 2000 installed on your machine with the latest service packs. In the event you do not have the latest version of the driver, you can download Version 2.7 of this driver from: http://www.microsoft.com/data/ See How to Check Your MDAC Version.
Infragistics controls	(Optional if you are using Infragistics controls.)Infragistics 2006 Vol 2 Infragistics 2006 Vol 1 (.NET Framework 2.0) Infragistics 2005 Vol 3 (.NET Framework 2.0) Infragistics 2005 Vol 2 (.NET Framework 2.0)

Caveats

Applications generated by Iron Speed Designer will not run on these operating systems because the Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) is not available on them:

Windows XP Tablet PC Edition

Windows XP Embedded

Windows XP Media Center Edition

Is it possible to run applications on other web servers like Apache?

Iron Speed Designer generated applications are normal .NET applications. Currently, there does not appear to be an alternative .NET Framework available on Linux or other servers where Apache is available. Check to see if your server configuration supports the Microsoft .NET Framework. If not, then you can not run any .NET applications on it, including Iron Speed Designer generated .NET applications.
