After successfully testing ASP.net 2.0 projects, I "copied web site" and "Build > Publish" two ASP.net web sites to an existing web server running clasic ASP on VS 6.

Running these 2 ASP.net projects on the local, existing web server (with VS 6 installed)showed the same error msg: "Failed to access IIS metabase."

Later on, I found out there was no .net Framework 2.0 Configuration in Control Panel\Administrative Tools window. I ran Aspnet_regisiis.exe -i, it succeeded. But when I ran register Aspnet_isapi.dll, an error msg popped up:

 "register Aspnet_isapi.dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found. This file can not be registered."

Questions:
1. What does "Failed to access IIS metabase" mean? Becasue there is no .netFramework 2.0 Configuration on Administrative Tools windows?Checking the c:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\ folder, did show a V2.05 folder, and the aspx applications are configured to v2.05. Why there is no .netFramework 2.0 configuration in Administrative Tools window?.

2. Wht's wrong with Aspnet_isapi.dll? What does "DllRegisterServer entry point was not found" mean?

TIA,
