i don't do much programming anymore and i can't remember what i did to get visual studio .net working on my laptop before i reformatted recently. i'm running xp pro and had it working before. i do remember i had to go to the command prompt and initiate something, but can't remember what it was. i think i did two things before i could get up and running. any help here would be wonderful.

Here's my error:

You need to have IIS installed and the dot net framework.

You can get IIS form you XP disk

Hi,

The error message means Visual Studio.NET cannot find Web Server specified by Web Project.

To resolve it, please install IIS firstly.

If the IIS is installed after installing Visual Studio .Net, we need to run "aspnet_regiis -i" to register ASP.NET mapping information.

For more information, see Troubleshoot "Visual Studio .NET has detected Web server is not running ASP.NET 1.1" (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555132)

I look forward to receiving your test results.

Thanks for the help, but I'm still geting the same error. I installed IIS and I have the .NET Framework installed as well.

When I run "aspnet_regiis -i" i get:

'aspnet_regiis -i' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

There are two reasons for that:

1. You need to install .net
2. You may need to use the full location or be in the dir.

C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspnet_regiis.exe

C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe

WINNT bit may be different on you computer.

THANKS! it ran that time..., but i'm still getting this error:

seems like the last time i did this I had to run something else to get everything working. any ideas? i'm a step closer so i really appreciate the tips!

do i need .aspx extensions in here?

Hi,

Based on the figure above, it seems that the IIS doesn't register .NET Framework's ASP.NET mapping on your computer. Please make sure we run the "aspnet_regiis" successfully. You can refer to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/1kdfe21k(VS.71).aspx (Section:To use Aspnet_regiis.exe to update a script map for an ASP.NET application ).

You also can add Extension Mapping by yourself to see if it works. For example, I add ".aspx" extension and executable path is "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\versionNumber \aspnet_regiis.exe".

I look forward to receiving your test results.

so based on the image above showing the application configuration do I need to add asp.net extensions? this is driving me nuts because i've done it before.
