ASP.NET Error.....

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\aspnet_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\aspnet_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!

 

.net won't install unless you enable FrontPage Extensions beforehand, so one could safely assume this is done already

I must admit to having had the same problem, though mine was fixed by using 'aspnet_regiis -i' on the command line

 

Another possible cause is that you installed VS.NET before you installed IIS. If so, you will need to uninstall VS.NET and IIS. Reinstall IIS and afterwards VS.NET. After this, everything should be fine.

Yet another possible solution for this frustrating, ambiguous error:

----------------------------------------------

You've probably fixed this, but I had the same problem and thought I would post my fix to help the masses - it was tricky finding the solution to this one.

There's a microsoft article titled "Unable to create a Web application on a LAN that uses a Proxy server." It's currently at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...tocreatewebapplicationusinglanproxyserver.asp

It instucts us to do the following, which worked for me:

Set your connection option to bypass proxy for local addresses
In the Tools menu, select Options.
Under the Projects node, select Web Settings.
Click Connection Settings in the Options dialog box.
In the Internet Properties dialog box, select the Connections tab and click LAN Settings.
In the LAN Settings dialog box, select Bypass proxy server for local addresses.
Click OK to close all open dialog boxes.

Cheers,

I had the same error after installing VS.NET2003 Enterprise Edition on Windows XP
"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."

Thanks! this fixed it:
c:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspnet_regiis.exe -i
