I too am having problems installing the site in the book. I followed the steps in the readme file without any problems, but when I open http://localhost/thephileVB in IE version 6 on Win XP Pro I get the following error. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Server Error in '/thePhileVB' Application.

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50215.44; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50215.44

You didn't migrate the solution to ASP.NET 1.1 correctly. It was written for ASP.NET 1.0, so you should remove all the original .pdb and .dll files and rebuild the whole solution.

Because of the way references work, you'll be breaking them when you remove the DLLs. The solution isn't set up to automatically recreate them in the right order, so you'll have to put in some work to get it going under 1.1.
