I get the following error when I try and create a virtual
directory on my system which is using windows 2000:

unable to add the virtual directory because of an error on
the server

I tried to remove IIS and then reinstall. Does anyone have
any ideas. It was working yesterday and something must
have been changed by me on the system to cause this to
happen.
 
Hi George,

Thanks for your post.

When do you receive the error, creating a new ASP .NET Web application or
creating virual directory in Internet Services Manager?

Since you have reinstalled IIS, you need to fix IIS mappings for ASP.NET
per KB article Q306005:
HOWTO: Repair IIS Mapping After You Remove and Reinstall IIS
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;306005

In addition, I suggest that you can resort to the newsgroup
microsoft.public.inetserver.iis which is best suited for such problem.
Thanks a lot for your cooperation.

Have a nice day!
