IIS 5.1 and ASP.NET on XP Pro

[Guest]

I've recently purchased a new computer, that came pre-loaded with XP Home
Edition, which I upgraded to XP Pro. Then, I installed IIS 5.1, VS.Net 2003,
and VB.Net 2003. After numerous attempts to get IIS to accept ASP.Net pages,
it still won't let me publish them, and VS.Net won't recognize my server
(IIS).

I've searched the internet for a solution, and haven't found much info on
this subject. I have used the command line instruction: aspnet_regiis -i, to
no avail.

Are there any other suggestions besides using C4 that may help? (Trying to
remain upbeat about this...LOL)

Thanks

Do a clean install of XP Pro, rather than an upgrade.
Make sure IIS is installed prior to VS.NET.
After VS.NET installation add the ASPNET user account to the Debugger Users
group.

You might also try the Xp HOME hacks.

or google "xp home IIS"

Is your firewall on?

Yes it is..I'm running Norton Internet Security 2005

Thanks to all for suggestions...

I ended up having to repair my IIS mappings for ASP.NET by registering my
isapi.dll.

Again, I appreciate the help that the Microsoft Newsgroups has given me
throughout the past couple of years.
