Hello. I am using Win XP Pro with .NET Framework 1.1 and VS 2003 installed.

I want to experiment ASP.NET on my local computer. So I installed IIS from
the Windows CD. However, I still can't execute asp or aspx pages on my
computer. Is there anything left to be done?

Thanks.

I get the impression that you installed IIS after Visual Studio?
That won't work.
You can either:
1. Uninstall the .NET Framework, then reinstall, or
2. follow the instructions in MS Knowledge Base article #306005, which says
in part

SUMMARY
After you install the Microsoft .NET Framework Software
Development Kit (SDK) or Visual Studio .NET, Microsoft
Internet Information Service (IIS) mappings are created to
associate the new file extensions and settings for
ASP.NET. If
you did not have IIS installed when you ran the SDK or
Visual
Studio Setup, or if you uninstalled and reinstalled IIS
after
you ran the SDK or Visual Studio Setup, those settings
will
not be in place. You experience unexpected behavior when
you
try to view ASP.NET pages.

When you try to create a new ASP.NET Web application in
Visual
Studio .NET 2003, you receive the following error message:

Visual Studio .NET has detected that the specified Web
server
is not running ASP.NET version 1.1. You will be unable to
run
ASP.NET Web applications or services.
MORE INFORMATION
To fix IIS mappings for ASP.NET, follow these steps:
Run the Aspnet_regiis.exe utility:
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open text box, type cmd, and then press ENTER.
At the command prompt, type the following, and then
press
ENTER:
"%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\version\aspnet_regiis.exe"
-i
In this path, version represents the version number of
the
.NET Framework that you installed on your server. You
must
replace this placeholder with the actual version
number
when you type the command.
Register the Aspnet_isapi.dll:
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open text box, type the following, and then
press
ENTER:
regsvr32
%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\version\aspnet_isapi.dll
Regsvr32 returns the results of the registration.
REFERENCES
For more information about the Aspnet_regiis.exe utility,
run
this .exe file with -? as an argument.
