IIS doesn't serve ASP.NET Applications

[Vitaly Sedov]

I am trying to open up a .Net application on my localhost but I get a
server error. On checking the Event log I found the following message:

The server failed to load application '/LM/W3SVC'. The error was 'The
specified metadata was not found.
'.
For additional information specific to this message please visit the

HTML pages works fine.
I've tried to reinstall .NET Framework and IIS, but it doesn't help.
I'm using Windows XP SP 2.0 + latest updates, IIS 6.0, .NET Framework 1.0
and .NET Framework 2.0.

Thank you,
Vitaly Sedov

Look for the regiis.exe on your server, and run it with the -i command line
flag. See if that fixes the problem.

Theres a connected thread here that you might wish to refer to also.

Thank you for response!

After a number of reinstallations of IIS and .NET Framework I gor another
error message:
"Class not registered".
And I found one bad thing: there is no Distributed Transaction Coordinator
(MSDTC) in Services and I can't browse COM+ Components in
COMPONENT SERVICES>>COMPUTERS>>MY COMPUTER>>COM+ SERVICES.
The folowing error occured: Error code 8004E00F Com+ was unable to talk to
the MSDTC

Gotcha!

I solve this problem! The trouble was with Distributed Transaction
Coordinator (MSDTC) Service. I haven't it in my Services list before.
Then I reinstall it (using this article
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/279786/en-us), reinstall IIS and register
IIS with aspnet_regiis utility.
And now everything works fine! I hope this information will help someone
