Where can I learn how to deploy ASP.NET 4 MVC 2 applications to IIS7?

Question

I've done a significant amount of searching and am having difficulty finding people who have encountered a similar problem.

I have gone into the properties for my project and set it to use the local IIS web server instead of the VS Dev server. It created the virtual directory just fine. When I attempt to browse to the site, I receive the following error:

HTTP Error 403.14 - Forbidden The Web server is configured to not list the contents of this directory.

I haven't done any custom routing rules for my project, so all of that is in its default state. The only other thing that I can think of is that there is something special that needs to be done to set up the "default" page for an MVC 2 deployment.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30128\aspnet_regiis.exe -ir

That solved it for me in the past. (remove the "64" if you're on 32-bit)
