# ASP.NET Core Module

The ASP.NET Core Module is an IIS Module which is responsible for process
management of ASP.NET Core http listeners and to proxy requests to the process
that it manages.

## Installing the latest ASP.NET Core Module
The ASP.NET Core Module for IIS can be installed on servers without installing the .NET Core runtime. You can download the [Windows (Server Hosting) installer](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=832756) and run the following command from an Administrator command prompt:
``DotNetCore.1.1.0.Preview1-WindowsHosting.exe OPT_INSTALL_LTS_REDIST=0 OPT_INSTALL_FTS_REDIST=0``

## Pre-requisites for building
