Problem with Internet Information Services (IIS)

[Greg Anigbo]

Hello Anyone,

I recently purchased Windows XP & VB.net, academic
edition for school work. I can't run any programs on the
VBnet or open the ASP working environment. When I try to
run a program on VBnet,I keep getting the same Error
message: A security check failed because the Internet
Information Services (IIS) admin service did not
respond. This usually indicates that there is a problem
with the IIS installation. The help page advised to
reinstall IIS. And if the problem persists, to check the
registry to make sure the key number still longer
exists. It then goes on to give me the key number that
starts as follows "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT......." I have
reinstalled IIS three times and the problems persists.
What is this key number they are talking about and what
registry do I need to contact? I checked the product key
number and it doesn't appear that is what they meant.

I would greatly appreciate any offer of assitance.

Thank you
Greg

Hi Greg,

Sorry to hear you're having problems. It sounds as though you have
installed IIS. (Are you able to successfully open the IIS management
console? (From Start | Administrative tools | Internet Information Services
(IIS) Manager)

Did you install IIS after you installed VB.Net? If so, then you'll need to
manually register ASP.NET with IIS. To do this, open a .NET command prompt
from the Start menu or from a "normal" command prompt CD to
<windows\Microsoft .NET\Framework\<framework version #> then run the command
aspnet_regiis -i

This will (among other things) associate the file type of ASPX with IIS and
allow your ASP.NET applications to run.

Hope this helps,
bliz
