That's your problem right there.
You installed them in the reverse order. You should have installed IIS first.

Try running :

aspnet_regiis -i

from a command window in the .Net Framework installation directory.

hello,
I used aspnet_regiis -i already from .Net Framework directory. but
no effect. What are ways to solve this problem.

Thank you

Since the problem stems from installing in the reverse order,
I'd uninstall them both and reinstall them in the correct order
( FIRST install IIS...and then install VS 2005 ).

Also, if you are using IE, it defaults to showing "Friendly HTTP Error
Messages" which are compeltely worthless for developers. In Tools ->
Internet Options -> Advanced tab, make sure that the box is unchecked
for Friendly HTTP Error Messages.
