Newbie issue: Error creating Web Service in VS 2003

[JPH]

Hi all! Here's my problem:

When trying to create a new C# Web Service in VS 2003, I get the following error
message:
"The Web server reported the following error when attempting to create or open
the Web project located at the following URL: 'http://localhost/WebService1'.
'HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error'.


The Event Viewer contains 2 copies of this entry:
"Failed to execute request because the App-Domain could not be created. Error:
0x80131534" (Source: ASP.NET 1.1.4322.0, Event ID: 1088).


IIS Log file contains the following:
#Software: Microsoft Internet Information Services 5.1
#Version: 1.0
#Date: 2004-07-20 13:44:50
#Fields: time c-ip cs-method cs-uri-stem sc-status
13:44:50 127.0.0.1 GET /WebService1/get_aspx_ver.aspx 500
13:44:50 127.0.0.1 GET /get_aspx_ver.aspx 500

I have:
Uninstalled VS 2003, the .NET v1.1 Framework, and IIS.
Re-installed IIS, the .NET v1.1 Framework, and VS 2003.
Given the ASPNET user "Admin" rights and I/O rights to the C:\Inetpub folder.
Modified the <processModel> section of the Machine.Config file so that the the
SYSTEM account is being used.
Run aspnet_regiis.exe.
Probably done some other things I can no longer remember.


The machine is my normal local development box - running XP Pro.
I can hit http://localhost and all is well.
This is the first time I've tried to create a Web Service on this machine, so I
can't tell you if something has changed or if it ever worked.

I'm assuming it's a rights issue of some sort (although that get_aspx_ver.aspx
returning a '500' has me a bit confused - but like I mentioned, I'm a newbie).

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Oh yeah, I definitely googled it. Tried everything I found - no luck
whatsoever.

And nope - not on a domain controller, though I did try q315158 just in case -
no luck there either.
