after deployment xml web service does not work

[Wendy Elizabeth]

Can you give me some suggestions of why the xml web service is not working?

I have an xml web service that works in my visual studio. net 1.1
environment. I setup this project up for deployment doing the following steps:
1. add a web setup project called "testaddr".
2. in file system window, select Web Application folder.
3. in the left pane of the file system window, right-click web application,
point to add, and then click output project.
4. Select Primary output and content files and then click OK.
5. in solution explorer, right click Build on "tested".
6. I double click on testaddr.msi.
**I have also tried doubling clicking on SETUP.EXE**
7. The web service installs on my workstation fine and it runs great.
However on the production server when I key in the following information:
"http:/ip address of production server/testaddr/Validate.asmx"

This is what is displayed:
<%@ WebService Language="vb" Codebehind="ValidateAddr.asmx.vb"
Class="VAddrWebService.VAddr" %>

The following is what the members in the virtual directory under IIS look
like:
1. bin directory that contains:
address.dll
vaddresswebservice.dll
2. at the same level there is also the following members:
web.config,
global.asax,
and VAddr.asmx.

If you can not see anything wrong with the above then maybe it is the
following:

The server I am going to install on has never been used for production.
Maybe there are items that need to be installed on the server to run besides
iis, net 1.1 framework, and all the latest windows and windows 2000 server
updates.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks for your assistance!

The .NET Framework is not installed on your production computer or
someone erased the ASP.NET setup.

Try running aspnet_regiis.exe -i from your
windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\<version number> directory to
re-register ASP.NET with IIS.

If you are running Window Server 2003 then you also need to allow
ASP.NET from the security settings tool in admin console for IIS.
