With the departure of one of our ASP.NET co-workers, I decided to start learning ASP.NET and the whole Visual Studio .NET story. So I installed VS.NET, SQL Server and all that was needed and was about to create my first C# ASP.NET application when…

Visual Studio .NET has detected that the specified Web server is not running ASP.NET version 1.1. You will be unable to run ASP.NET Web applications or services

… I just installed all the software, updated the .NET framework and then this? I was about to uninstall the whole thing and head over to Eclipse for some FAME pleasure ;-), but then decided to “google” for a solution and was more than happy to find one fast. So here it is.

- Open Visual Studio Command prompt., via Start-> Programs -> VS.NET 2003 -> Tools -> Command Prompt
- Type “aspnet_regiis -i“ and press enter.

The output should be:

c:\>aspnet_regiis -i
Start installing ASP.NET (1.1.4322.0).
Finished installing ASP.NET (1.1.4322.0).

And now back to Visual Studio for some C#’n.
Also, if anyone has some interesting links to ASP.NET resources, feel free to leave them in the comments.
