If the entry is not listed, pop in your 2003 CD and IIS now has a ton of options in the Add/Remove Windows Components than it used to. ASP.NET is one of them. If you select it during your initial install of Windows then ASP.NET works perfectly after the install is completed. If you add it after you've install Windows, then you have to be sure to enable the extension after installing it.

(though the same would apply to a web service).... constantly get "HTTP Error 404 - File or directory not found." problem is specifically that, ASP.NET is not allowed by "Web service extensions" (go to Internet Information Services under administration tools on start menu).....if your lucky there will be an entry that says ASP.NET 2.0...and it will be prohibited....if (like me) there is no entry there, then you have to manually add an entry and point it to "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_isapi.dll".... (there may be another way of doing this, but I did it manually), and then 'allow' it. now I'm sure there are plenty of other reasons (like getting the url wrong) for "HTTP Error 404", but this specific one took me several hours of hair pulling to find. =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor® http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com
