IIS Config problem while creating ASP.Net app

[soumya_bhatta]

Hi,

Trying to get .Net going in my new laptop. Came with XP Professional SP 2. I installed IIS5.1 and made sure that it is running. I installed VS.Net (downloaded from my msdn subcription) after installing IIS.

I can compile and run windows programs perfectly. But while creating a web project (.aspx), IDE gives an error "....has detected that the specified webserver is not running ASP.Net version 1.1...."

Investigating, I figured that I have to include aspnet_isapi.dll in my IIS app configuration. But IIS is not allowing me to include this dll in the "Add Edit Application Extension Mapping" window of IIS. When I select proper dll, the Ok button never gets enables.


I am attaching a word doc that might help understand the IIS scenario a little more.

Appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks. The answer is covered in the link. May be an intelligent search would have revealed.

I am copying the answer I got at asp.net from qbernard

You can try this method to re-register asp.net
Troubleshoot "Visual Studio .NET has detected Web server is not running ASP.NET 1.1"

as regarding the Ok button, it's a bug
IIS 5.1 OK button unavailable when you add application mappings

Again, Stya V's answer is sufficient and thank you all.
