QuickStart Tutorial error

[stacy]

On my XP Pro laptop, I have installed IIS, MSDE and QuickStart Samples
but am encountering the following error when I click on any of the
QuickStarts on the Microsoft.NET Framework SDK QuickStarts page.

"You are not authorized to view this page" from the .

I may have done something wrong in installing the MSDE, here are the
steps I went through

I was logged in as myself on a domain
I downloaded the ConfigSamples and MSDE200A to a known directory
I installed the MSDE2000A package
ran the following command from the DOS prompt
Setup.exe /qb+ INSTANCENAME=NetSDK DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=1
SAPWD=<pw>

I entered the administrators password for <pw>

I installed the ConfigSamples package

I had hoped, being very new to Web Development to find some useful
examples in the tutorials, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Stacy

I have an msde install blog at
spaces.msn.com/sholliday/

Also.. if you installed IIS ~~after DotNet, you need to do a sync up.

Hi Sloan,

Thanks for the suggestions, unfortunately, I'm still having the same
problem, could be because of the error that comes up when I try to run
the batch file per the blog page. The error is "The instance name
specified is invalid". I even tried adding this line to the ini file -
INSTANCENAME=NetSDK because that we how the original install
instructions specified it, but still no good.

IIS was installed before ASP.net, but I tried the registry command
anyway - just not having any luck getting these Quickstarts to work.

Any new suggestions? Thanks for the help,

Please confirm whether your MSDE instance is "NetSDK"
or whether it is "YourMachineName\NetSDK".

I know that you set it to "NetSDK",
but I think that MSDE setup just adds that to your machine's name.
