Can't start ASP.NET pages in visual studio

I have a problem creating ASP.NET web pages in Visual Studio. I have
upgraded to XP Pro, created a new virtual folder under the default web site
in IIS, named a directory to hold the actual files (all done through wizards)
and yet when I try to start a simple hello world page using F5, I get a
message saying “Unable to start debugging on the web server. Server-side
error occurred on sending debug HTTP requestâ€.

I then try Start without debugging, but the site says the folder can’t be
accessed because it either doesn’t exist or there are problems with the
security settings.

I am following the instructions in the Microsoft Press MCAD/MCSD Developing
Web Applications in C# book, and though I’ve gone over the steps a dozen
times, I can’t get it to work.

I created an alias called MyApps and set the actual directory as one which
exists on my desktop. I created the application in visual studio with the
location http://localhost/MyApps/WebApplication1.

Could someone please point me in the right direction.

Well I presume that in your quest you installed VS before
you upgraded to XP Pro and before you installed the IIS
components - hence IIS doesn't know about ASP.NET.

find aspnet_regiis.exe - usually in

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322

if you are using VS 2003 and run

aspnet_regiis -i

to install the ASP.NET on IIS.
 
That was the first thing I did

Well, you didn't mention that, did you. :)

Anyway if you are still having a problem after checking out
the suggestion of the other poster try a VS - Repair
install. (I know its time-cosuming and a pain).

I remember vaguely that the "Components Install" babbled on
about somthing that it may not install everything if certain
optional Windows components where missing.

But before you do that, also add the "Message Queuing"
Windows component - you're going to need that for the
70-3(10|20) preparation.
