Hey Bob,
Yeah I tried all that and a few other things as well. One thing that I
didn't mention in my original post was that I had initially installed Sql
Server 2005 Beta on my Server 2003 emulation *before* I installed
SharePoint. This of course installed .Net 2.0 Beta as well. As a result all
my SharePoint applications were mapped to the 2.0 Asp.Net isapi. Well ...
I changed all the mappings, uninstalled Asp.Net 2.0, changed the mappings to
Asp.Net 1.1 ... that didn't work
I uninstalled all Asp.Net versions, then re-installed Asp.Net 1.1 ... that
didn't work
I uninstalled Sql Server 2005 Beta and the .Net RT 2.0 ... that didn't work
Finally, I uninstalled SharePoint Portal 2003 and everything else except for
Server 2003 itself ... then I reinstalled Asp.Net 1.1 and reinstalled
SharePoint ... and voila, I finally got a heart beat.
I'm still not sure what was wrong exactly with the original configuration
... but I seem to be in business now.
