IIS is sending everything as octet-stream

[darrel]

Today I got my new XP machine (upgraded from 2k). After spending a day
reinstalling all my apps and backups, I almost have things set up.

I have put all my files back into wwwroot, but when trying to access
localhost, my browser wants to download an octet stream instead. It seems as
if it's not understanding what to do with a .aspx file. I have the .net
framework installed. Is there another setting/config I'm missing somewhere?

you probably installed iis after .net.
please run:
c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v1.1.4322\aspne t_regiis.exe -i
