cannot view any .aspx pages

[mnrsiat]

I am having what looks to be the same problem described in this topic:

[webmasterworld.com...]

Any time I attempt to view a .aspx page, even one that is totally empty, I get only the following:

-2147467259 (0x80004005)

However the suggested solution, running aspnet_regiis.exe, does not seem to correct this. I also reinstalled .NET Framework redistributable, after installing IIS, but am still unable to view a page.

What else might be going wrong? I suspect it is a configuraiton issue but can't figure out what to check next.

TIA

After more thoroughly investigating the options of aspnet_regiis.exe, I found that I needed to run it with the -i flag. I can now view the .aspx pages.

So never mind on this particular error... I'm on to the next error.

Good general advice: Any time ASP.NET stops working, run aspnet_regiis -i. In particular, if you install IIS after installing the .NET framework, this will fix IIS.

You can find aspnet_regiis in the C:\WINNT\Microsoft.net\Framework\V1.1.4322 directory.

The last part is a .NET framework version number. If there is a later version of the .NET framework on your system, use that directory.
