I'm a VB.Net Beginner

I am in the middle of chapters 16 & 17 in Wrox's "Beginning VB.NET 2e". In order to do the examples, I need to have MSDE and ASP.NET 1.1 installed. Even though I have downloaded and installed MSDE (and it seems to be running) and I downloaded ASP.NET 1.1, IIS 6.0 with the IIS 6 Service Pack, I can't get VB.NET 2003 Standard to recognize IIS 6.0/MSDE/ASP.NET 1.1.

Every time I try to open a new 'Web Form', I get an MDE MessageBox which says, "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 don't know how to 'configure' all these things to get VB.NET to work with them. I've gone online to try to find resources to walk me through it, but have found everything but success. I'd appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction.

Thanks

try this:

1) Open a command window. (Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.)
2) Navigate to the directory of the Aspnet_regiis.exe version you want to use. Remember that each version of the .NET Framework comes with its own version.

The file is usually located in the following directory:
for XP c:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\<versionNumber>
for 2000 c:\winnt\microsoft.net\framework\<versionNumber>

Then type aspnet_regiis.exe -i
