Cannot create ASP.NET Web Application

[Kevin L]

I have XP Pro and IIS is installed.
I am trying to create a new (and first) ASP.NET Web Application.

After choosing New project in IDE and naming it, I click OK and receive the
following message:

The Web server reported the following error when attempting to create or
open the Web project located at the following URL:
'http://localhost/WebHelpDesk'. 'The server returned an invalid or
unrecognized response'.

Does anyone know what this means or how I can remedy it?

thank you

Hi Kevin,

Mostly it has to do with user rights in the directory c:\inetpub

This question is often asked in the newsgroup
Aspnet
<
Web interface:

<http://communities2.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/?dg=microsof
t.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet>

when this is not the right answer I would ask it also there

I hope this helps a little bit?

This is a problem with the scriptmaps, you should consider using the
aspnet_regiis utility with one of the following params, I would recommend
the -i option. You can read about this utility on MSDN

-s = register asp.net with your webapps

-s <path> = this installs scriptmaps for this version at the specified
path, recursively. Existing scriptmaps of lower version are upgraded to this
version. E.g. aspnet_regiis.exe -s W3SVC/1/ROOT/SampleApp1

-i = install this version of ASP.NET and update scriptmaps at the IIS
metabase root and for all scriptmaps below the root. Existing scriptmaps of
lower version are upgraded to this version.

I have tried the -i parameter with Regiis, but I am still seeing the
problem.

I figured out what it is. It is Norton Internet Security.

Hi Cor,
Some additional Information:
I am using Norton Internet Security 2003. It is still installed,
I only have to disable the personal firewall portion of Norton Internet
Security, not all of Norton Internet Security.
