I have a similar issue

[Wolf Bear via .NET 247]

My issue is on Windows 2000 Pro. system which is NOT connected to a network and the only access the Internet is via a dial up connection (Yeah, tell me about it.) Anyway, here is the install process I used.

I installed IIS and configured it, including FP Extensions etc. I checked to see that it was running etc.
I then installed Visual Studio 2003 which included the prerequisite of framework 1.1 etc.

I opened the application to start one of the walk through. I choose C# and then asp.net web service. I clicked OK to save the new service to my localhost and got the following error.

Error message: visual studio can not create or open the application because
no web server was detected at this url. Make sure the web server is
installed and running.

I did some research and did the following from the vs command prompt, aspnet_regiis.exe ?I this did some stuff but I still get the SAME error.

Windows reports that IIS is running and the server extensions are configured etc.

I have tried uninstalling all the above and starting over only to find the same issues. I am new to visual studio and IIS so my skill set in tracking this down is minimal.

I have service pack 4 installed and many other security patches etc, I keep as up to date as one with dial up can do.

I am a bit frustrated, having just spent a lot of money for VS 2003 in hope of learning to use it only to find that because of the IIS I am limited.

I suspect that there is an issue with IIS.

By the way I disabled SQL2000, MySQL, Vshield and all services that did not need to be running before I installed the above.
