ASP MVC in IIS 7 results in: HTTP Error 403.14 - Forbidden

Question

Hi everybody!

I 'm developing an ASP MVC web project. Now i have a requirement which forces me to deploy to an IIS7 inmiddle of development (to check some features). I 'm getting the above mentioned error message whenever i try to type the URL of the web site. (Note: development machine: Vista Home Premium, IIS7)

What i have done until now:

Edited the HOSTS file (C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts).

Put two domains in it (127.0.0.1 domain1.com & 127.0.0.1 domain2.com).

Created a folder c:\websites\dirOfApplication and deployed from within Visual Studio 8 to this folder.

In IIS7 created a new site with host name domain1.com and application folder the above.

Typing the address domain1.com in Web browser results in the above error (HTTP Error 403.14 - Forbidden - The Web server is configured to not list the contents of this directory.)

I think i'm missing something but don't know what! Tryed to deploy the files System.Web.Mvc, System.Web.Abstraction & System.Web.Routing wit the same outcome. Whenever i try to hit F5 and run the application it works fine!

Thanks in advance

It's because of being to sure about what you (me) are doing!

On my machine there is IIS 7 installed but the required ASP.NET component (Control Panel->Programs->Turn On/Off->ASP.NET) was not.

So installing this solved the problem
