General Requirements
At least one server is needed to start building the CI environment.
Prior to configuring these tools this guide will step through creating sample .NET applications to help demonstrate how these tools work and interact with each other. The guide uses two sample .NET applications, one Windows Application and one web (ASP.NET) application. The reason for using these two types of applications is to demonstrate the difference between the way the tools are configured for web and non-Web Applications.

Once these applications are created and added to source control (VSS) the C.I tools will be configured and scripts created for some tools. Each script that is created is discussed in detail.



Server Requirements for the .NET Environment
NET Framework 1.1 (optional with Visual Studio.NET 2003)
Visual Studio.NET is not a necessity for server machine, but it is installed since the guide uses Visual Studio.NET to create sample .NET applications. These sample .NET applications can be created on some other machine with Visual Studio.NET installed and then copied on to the server. Installation of .NET Framework 1.1 is essential.

Microsoft Visual SourceSafe 6.0
Other source control environments could be used as well, such as Subversion or CVS. However, make sure the selected software is compatible with other CI Tools used in this guide. The following scripts used for each tool assume the use of VSS.
