Check out this Blog, it may be a case sensative thing.

Sorry, i didn't notice this was the issue tracker forum (came right to this topic from a google hit)... i posted it in the general forum instead

 I encountered the same problem - one of these two responses may fix the problem.  Check to see if the problem persists on another machine.  I found that it only existed on my development machine.

Case sensitivity

Development Machine vs regular user

This happened to me using VS Web Dev Express.

I was able to fix it by going into IIS, then the properties of the site, ASP.NET TAB.

The ASP.NET Version was blank in the drop down for some reason. Once I selected I was able to resolve it.

 I have tried everything that you have mentioned here.. It does not work for me. Please help!

I also have the same issue. I have tryed to reinstall IIS and ASP.NET 2.0 also did the aspnet_regiis -i and -e to not avail.

I am running server 2003 with IIS 6.0.

I am trying to open the website VIA local path  \\HOST\inetput\wwwroot\default.aspx

Any other suggestions?

Actually when i run my project on localhost , it is running but if i give the Machine ip address  in stead of localhostit is giving error like" name was started with an invalid character" please guide me regarding this...

Thanks if any help is found

I tried this and it worked, thanks!

It is helpful to shut down all the browsers trying to access that script and stop and restart IIS. Maybe not necessary but helped me.

 Good luck

I remember an issue when I first started using WCF services on my XP box.  I had to go into iis and map the .svc extension appropriately so iis knew what to do with it.

I recently had to do this again after installing the VS2008 SP1.

Its worth the effort to see if your file mappings in IIS are correct.

Hope this helps
