I apologize if it is in appropriate to post this in two newsgroups...I also
posted on the IIS group...

I just installed VB .net 2003 and wanted to be able to develop using ASP. I
followed the instructions and installed IIS and the FP extensions (although
when I install FP I get a message the Microsoft Personal Web Server could not
be configured). I am running Windows XP Professional.

When I open IIS in the Microsoft Management Consol I cannot start or restart
the service and it is currently not started (does this matter?)

When I open VB .net and try to add an ASP project I get the error message
that "Visual Studio .NET cannot create or open the application because no Web
server was detected at this URL: 'http://localhost/WebApplication1'. ; Make
sure the Web server is installed and running.

Thanks in advance for any help!!!
