How to register ASP.NET 2.0 to web server(IIS7)?

Question

Hi.,

I have a web-page application already created, but when I open it in visual studio 2008, it says there that:

ASP.NET 2.0 has not been registered on the Web Server. You need to manually configure you Web server for ASP.NET 2.0 in order for your site to run correctly.

I'm using asp.net 2.0, IIS7 and running on vista home premium.

How to register ASP.NET 2.0 to my web server(IIS7)?

Answer 1

If you installed IIS after the .Net framework you can solve the porblem by re-installing the .Net framework. Part of its install detects whether IIS is present and updates IIS accordingly.

Answer 2

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -ir

---

EDIT: aspnet_regiis.exe should no longer be used with IIS7 to install ASP.NET

Open Control Panel
  Programs\Turn Windows Features on or off
    Internet Information Services
      World Wide Web Services
        Application development Features
          ASP.Net <-- check mark here
