vs2003 can't create a web project

[David Bartosik - MS MVP]

since installing vs 2003 (alongside vs 2002) I have been unable to create a
web project with it.
New project, C#, web app, then keep the default web ap name or not, either
way, I get the very general error message that the project could not be
created due to server error 500.
This is only in version 2003.
I have no trouble doing this in version 2002.
I have run the asp reg stuff, I have manually added ASPNET user and
permissions to like a billion folders, I've tryed all of it to no avail. And
poring over the asp.net forums and the KB and public ng's I have not
seen anything that reflects this general error, rather everything I see is
specific, though I try some of those resolutions anyway.

Hi David,

I have reviewed your issue and understand your problem as follows:

You installed VS.NET 2002 and VS.NET 2003 in the same system. Everything
works fine in VS.NET 2002. In VS.NET 2003, when you tried to create a new
application, you got the following error:

The Web server reported the following error when attempting to create or
open the
Web project located at the following URL 'http://localhost/WebApplication1'
HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error

Due to the nature of your issue I need to do additional research to
determine the best way to provide assistance.

That is correct.

I've since found this in my server log on that server error -

GET /get_aspx_ver.aspx 500

my research so far has yielded that this file does not exist and that 2003
handles this request internally, and that normally it writes a 404 by
design. I found this out by mulling over the www.asp.net forums, apparently
this file is not documented by MS by design.

I could locate no info on my particular case though.
