VS.NET and ASP.NET Error

[vjain1]

I am having a problem when I create a new project in VB.NET for ASP.NET Web Applications. I am trying to use my IIS on Windows XP Professional to develop my project. However, I get an error when using "http://localhost/...."

 

The error is as follows:

"Visual Studio .NET has detected that the specified Web server is not running ASP.NET version 1.1. You will be unable to run ASP.NET Web applications or services."

 

I searched the web and Microsoft knowledge base and found a few solutions that did not work.

 

1) I tried to type the command:

c:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspnet_regiis.exe" -i

It installed the asp.net stuff and still no luck.

 

2) I then tried to register the aspnet_isapi.dll by typing the command:

"regsvr32 c:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v.1.1.4322\aspnet_isapi.dll

A message box said it succeeded, but still no luck.

 

Going back to VB.Net, the same error message occurs. I have no idea what to do. I do have ASP.NET 1.1 and all windows updates. I did read somewhere (but no detail was given) about enabling IIS and/or Front Page extentions?? I am pretty sure they are enabled. I used IIS before but not with ASP.NET.... But I am not sure how to do this EXACTLY in WinXP Professional.

 

PLEASE HELP!

Thank you so much!

IIS must be installed before you install VS.net. if not it will not work correctly

hope that helps

IIS WAS installed

 

IIS was installed before VS.net and the .NET framework. I used the IIS before for simple webpages. I even have IIS management tool in control panel --> Administrative Tools.

 

But that got me thinking....

Let me check if IIS was working.

 

I tried to see if I could view a webpage using my IIS. And I couldn't!! But it says it is installed! I only got "Page can not be displayed"

 

How do I get IIS to start working again, and could this be my problem???
