'IronPython' is not a supported language

Hello

I've spent the whole day trying to run a simple ASP.NET Web page using IronPython.

Here is what I installed :

- Python 2.6
- PyWin32
- IronPythonStudio
- VS2005 SDK 4.0 (february 2007)
- IronPython 1.1.2
- IronPython for ASP.NET
- Visual C++

Then I opened the IronPythonIntegration project (C:\Program Files\Visual Studio 2005 SDK\2007.02\VisualStudioIntegration\Samples\IronPythonIntegration), build it and ran it.

Then a new Visual Studio poped out (must be the "Experimental hive" version, why in the world do we have to use this anyway ?). I opened my Web project, added a new aspx web page with Python language. When I compile my website I get the following errors :

- 'IronPython' is not a supported language
- 'py' is not a valid language extension

Following the advices from the following page : http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vsx/thread/a65ea850-d7fc-45b5-888c-097a5c080f2f/ I registered the following dlls to the GAC :

gacutil /i "\Program Files\Visual Studio 2005 SDK\2006.08\VisualStudioIntegration\Common\Assemblies\IronMath.dll"
gacutil /i "\Program Files\Visual Studio 2005 SDK\2006.08\VisualStudioIntegration\Common\Assemblies\IronPython.dll"

I also added the following lines to my web.config :

It's still not working, did I miss something ? I'm amazed that so many modules have to be installed just for an extra language !

Thanks
