I am new to ASP.NET

[Burton Roberts]

But I am an experienced WinForms developer. Using VS 2003, I try to open a
new project as an ASP Web Appliction and I get an error the "specified web
server is not running ASP.NET 1.1. You will be unable to run ASP.NET Web
Applications or services."

I ran setup to add the web component to my installation, I have IIS
installed, and the VS 2003 prerequisites, of course. I think I have Front
Page Server Extensions installed, but am not sure. To be sure, I tried to
download it from Web but was unsuccessful. MSDN link to the download page
failed. Also, I tried turning off Firewalls to no avail.

Any suggestions?

You have .NET Framework 1.1 installed, correct?

Which OS are you using ?

Not to rag on you, but everybody who posts a question
should, at least, identify the OS version, besides the
development environment used.

Different OS/development environments
may have different problem resolutions for
the same error message.

Looks like asp.net 1.1 is not installed properly. Try running the following
commands
aspnet_regiis.exe -i
aspnet_regiis.exe -c

the executable aspnet_regiis.exe is found in the following directory
%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322

Good Luck

Correct. I have developing WinForms on it with no problem.

I recently had the exact same problem, and was sent to the following site
for help (see the thread called "Error when creating project in Visual
Studio .NET 2003"). When I followed the instructions on the page, it fixed
the problem.
