URGENT: IIS headaches!

Hi,

I have recently installed MS VS.net Ent Arc 2003. During
the installation I was asked to install IIS as part of
the pre-requisites. The IIS installation went fine.

I cannot create a web project in VS.net. I get a HTML 500
error. When I try to connect to Http://localhost I get an
error page - leading me to believe that IIS is at fault
not VS.net.

I have viewed the event log: After attempting to create a
project in VS.net the error is reported as 'Specified
metadata not found'. The error reported after connecting
to http://localhost is 'Class not Registered'.

I have ran aspnet_regiis - i. And granted Administrative
permissions to the user ASP.net (this is a stand alone
development machine so there are no security
considerations).

Any help would be sincerely appreciated as I have a
pending deadline and hitting my head against a brick wall
is starting to make my head ache! :)

Thanks
Matt

Start here:

Why do I get a 500 Internal Server error for all ASP errors?

Give us the entire message including event ID and source. Or look it
up at eventid.net.

Check %SYSTEMROOT%\IIS6.LOG to make sure there were no setup errors (that
were ignored by VS setup).

Otherwise, check eventlog and IIS Web logs for more details on the error.

Class not Registered tends to indicate setup errors.
