ASP.NET tab in IIS Manager missing (on 2003 Server X64)

[Shan McArthur]

Hello,

I have installed .Net 2.0 Beta 2 on my machine yet I cannot see any ASP.NET
tab in the IIS Manager. As a result, I am unable to pick with version of
the framework will be used for specific websites. My machine is Windows
2003 Server X64. I have tried both the 32-bit and 64-bit MMC console
snap-ins for managing IIS, and neither of them has the required tab in the
site properties dialog. How can I resolve this problem?

Thanks,
Shan McArthur

This is a problem caused by the change between Beta 1 and Beta 2.

To fix, check the following 3 registry keys :

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{7D23CCC6-A390-406E-AB67-2F8B7558F6F6}\InprocServer32
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{FD5CD8B1-6FE0-44F3-BBFB-65E3655B096E} \InprocServer32
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{FEDB2179-2335-48F0-AA28-5CDA35A2B36D}\InprocServer32

Under (expand) InProcServer32, look for the presence
of a non-2.0.0.0 (example 2.0.36.0) and remove it.

2.0.(anything other than 0) is a reference
that causes the ASP.NET tab to break.

I did not have any other entries in the registry for any other version.
This is the first 2.0 framework install on my machine. The fix does not
work because there are no other entries to remove. I am still looking for a
solution.

That is the first time I hear of that,
other than when Beta 2 is installed after a Beta 1 build.

You should post a bug report at the MSDN Product Feedback Center:
http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback/default.aspx

In the meantime, work around it by using
Denis Bauer's ASP.NET Version Switcher to switch ASP.NET versions.

http://www.denisbauer.com/NETTools/ASPNETVersionSwitcher.aspx

While it doesn't edit ASP.NET configuration files, at least it allows you
to pick the version of the framework will be used for specific websites.
