Problems setting up ASP .NET 2.0 Beta 2
P>
The DVD copies of Visual Studio 2005/ASP .NET 2.0 Beta 2 arrived in the post last week from Microsoft so I thought I'd spend some time this weekend installing them on my main development machine. The install went smoothly but the ASP .NET tab that I had seen in IIS Manager in previous ASP .NET 2.0 Beta/CTP releases was missing. The Web Site Administration tool also failed to appear on any of the sites on the server (HTTP 404 error occured) whenever I tried to acces it. I found some info on the MSDN Product Feedback site suggesting that you should remove all entries except 2.0.0.0 from the following registry keys:
Microsoft comments: If a previous version was not uninstalled correctly, please regedit eliminate all versions except 2.0.0.0 in the following locations:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{7D23CCC6-A390-406E-AB67-2F8B7558F6F6}\InprocServer32\
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{FD5CD8B1-6FE0-44F3-BBFB-65E3655B096E} \InprocServer32\
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{FEDB2179-2335-48F0-AA28-5CDA35A2B36D}\InprocServer32\
I gave it a go and found that a previous version had left some values under one of these keys. I removed the extraneous values and my ASP .NET tab magically reappeared in IIS Manager. I still haven't fixed the Web Site Administation tool issue yet but I'll let you know the solution when I do.
