asp.net

[Guest]

When I try to begin a new asp.net web application I get the following error:

visual studio .net cannot create or open the application because no web
server was detected at this URL: "http://localhost/WebApplication1". Make
sure the Web servier is installed and running.

You do have a web server running, right?

I had IIS installed but I did not see it running in services of the computer
management dialog box. I clicked help and followed the directions: "Visual
Studio .NET cannot create the application <application>. The likeliest
probelm is that required components are not installed on the local Web
server."

Using the Windows XP cd I updated IIS to add all the components via
Add/Remove Programs. Then I Used the Visual Studio .NET CD to reinstall the
..NET framework.

I still get the same error.

I just had this same problem on one of my computers. You need to
locate the program "aspnet_regiis.exe" on your computer, and then run
it with the -i switch set:

aspnet_regiis.exe -i

I had tried that and it did not work. Finally I uninstalled IIS then
reinstalled it completely and then from the VS.NET command prompt I ran
'aspnet_regiis /i'. That fixed the problem. Thanks for the reply.
