Getting 404 error on all projects created with VS2003 (IIS 5.1)

[EmmanuelE]

Just installed VS2003 and tried a hello world app. Getting 404 error even
when I explictly specify the start page in the url.

In IIS Mgr (v 5.1), App has .aspx mapped to
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspnet_isapi.dll.

The file in question IS in the virtual directory and this is the inetmgr log
file entry that occurs when my browser requests the page: 19:42:27 127.0.0.1
GET /UP1/WebForm1.aspx 404

If I put a test HTML file (Default.htm) into the virtual directory and bring
up http://localhost/UP1 in my browser, I get the test page OK.

Interestingly, an app that I installed BEFORE installing VS2003 works. I
compared its properties to new apps generated by VS2003 and only difference I
see is that the new apps have the "Local Path" box in the Directory tab
greyed out. The old app has an absolute pathname
(c:\inetput\wwwroot\InstantForum41).

Important info. I HAD VS2005 Beta2 installed. I uninstalled it before
installing VS2003. Wonder if I broke something.

Also, another symptom is that debugger won't start. Says I need to "verify
that ASP.NET is correctly installed" (it is and wp_aspnet.exe is running as I
speak) or that "ATL Server is correctly installed" (not sure how to test
that).

Don't use .Net myself but, see if this helps (seems to be similar to yours).
