05. Install .NET Hosting Bundle

There is an inconspicuous but crucial bridge between IIS and X-ERP: The hosting bundle turns files into a launchable web application.

Why this station counts

The package installs the .NET runtime and the ASP.NET Core Module for IIS. Without a suitable version, the website may exist but crash upon startup with an HTTP error.

The resilient process

1. Determine the .NET version released for the X-ERP build.
2. Install the hosting bundle with administrative rights to IIS.
3. Restart IIS or the server in a controlled manner.
4. Check installed runtimes and the ASP.NET Core Module.
5. Document package version and installation date.

Functional test - only then continue

• The required .NET Runtime is available.
• IIS recognizes the ASP.NET Core Module.
• Application Pool starts without repeated termination.
• Event log does not contain hosting startup error.

If the result is not correct

• Incorrect runtime version creates startup errors that are difficult to understand.
• Installing before IIS may require a repair install.
• A restart is skipped and old modules remain loaded.

This is what you take with you

IIS and X-ERP speak the same runtime language - verifiable and documented in a version-specific manner.
