New to .NET, need help with Web Server

[Guest]

I recently began teaching myself via these newsgroups and reading how to program "stuff". I attempted to open a new project and chose ASP.NET Web Application, when I hit OK to open the project I am told: "Visual Studio .NET cannot create or open the application because no Web server is detected at this URL: 'http//localhost/WebApplication1'. Make sure the Web server is installed and running .

What does that mean and what do I need to do to rectify this problem

You need to install IIS. It's on the WindowsXP Pro CD but not installed by
default.
Go into Control Panel, Add/Remove windows components.

Then you need to repair your mappings.
To do this, run the following command:
aspnet_regiis.exe -i
Here's further information:

Or there's the free cassini web server:
