Problems running ASP.NET 2.0 in Windows XP

[Chris]

Good Morning,
I have spent a considerable amount of time trying to get aspx pages to
render in IIS 5.1 to no avail. At first I thought it was a problem
with the installation of the Quickstarts since they were the first
failure I saw after loading framework and SDK 2.0.

The problem presents itself as follows:
When I attempt to load static content (HTM) the page renders as
expected. But when I attempt to load even the simplist .net script
(ASPX) the page fails to render or display an error message. I just
hear a bonk noise and the page loads forever. I discovered that this
bonk noise was a window that would not open due to the IISADMIN service
being run in "Allow service to interact with desktop" unset. When I
set it and loaded the page again, a dialog appeared with the following
message:

The program [C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\inetinfo.exe] caused a problem
and is going to close.

Would you like to save a dump file?

The IIS State stack dump is shown below this message. Used IISState
application to get info.

I have repaired the framework, uninstalled and reinstalled it.
Uninstalled and reinstalled IIS. Changed the ASPNET account to
Administrator, changed the account that the .net apps run under to an
admin account, disabled all startup programs in msconfig, manually
turned off Norton and Black ICE, and finally, stood and screamed at my
box. The last step scared me a little after I observed the force of my
angry yawp tilted my monitor slightly. The police, by the way, have no
idea what IIS or .net is but do understand the frustration expressed by
my 90 year old neighbor who was awoken by subsequent swearing.

Please help.

Let's check a few things first.

Is the asp.net 2.0 dll allowed in the list of server extensions? If it
doesn't appear in the list, it might not be registered with IIS.

To register it, go to your framework directory (something like
%windowsrootdir%/microsoft.net/framwork/v2.0575/aspnet_regiis.exe -i

What operating system are you running?

Thanks for the response, Chris. Yeah, I checked the server extensions,
I registered and re-registered it. No luck. Finally, I broke down and
called Microsoft. to see if there was some other thing I was doing that
could cause this problem. Before I go on, I should say, the problem
has been fixed.

Turns out, the the Cingular connection manager I use to configure my
cellular modem attaches either the Bmwebcfg.exe process or the
Bmnet.dll file itself to the inetinfo.exe process and silently cripples
it. With all the searching I did I could not find any reference to
this problem. The MS tech pointed me to this KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=910435. By the way this doesn't only
affect creation of projects from Visual Studio but also execution of
any asp.net code at all.

Long story short, I uninstalled the Cingular Connection manger and all
is well. I re-installed an upgraded version and to this point have had
no problems. Thanks Cingular. Thanks for providing me with an
incredibly useful modem whose software went rogue and stole several
days from me. C'est la vie.

It appears you have a major problem which may go well beyond IIS and the
..NET Framework. Have you looked at the Events log?

And you may have a little more success if you run the aspnet_regiis.exe
utility.

You need to have it run the installation routine.

aspnet_regiis.exe -i

You will need to either add the .NET folder to your PATH environment
variable or run the command from that folder.

Here are more docs...

Thanks for your time Brennan. As I wrote in the message that precedes
yours, the problem was caused by the modem configuration software that
is provided by Cingular for their Cellular service and has nothing to
do with IIS configuration or the Framework. Cingular's speed
optimization program attaches itself to Inetinfo.exe then craps when
IIS tries to serve ASP.NET. Nice.
