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\aspne t_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\aspn et_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!

Hi There,

Did you try to run aspnet_regiis -i?
The file is located in:
%WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\<Your Framework Version>

It worked for me

Try aspnet_regiis -c this copies the files to the web root directory as is needed, then try the -i switch.
