http//:localhost/MOD11VB HTTP/1.1 500 Server Error

dotnet academic: I installed Visual Studio Beta 2005 but setting up the SQL server was so
complex I uninstalled it and put Visual Studio 2003 Academic on. I am
totally new to Visual Studio and trying to teach myself from books and
online classes.

Whenever I try to open .sln files (eg MOD11VB.sln) from the online classes I
get these messages:

The Web server reported the following error when attempting to create or
open the Web project located at the following URL:
'http//:localhost/MOD11VB' 'HTTP/1.1 500 Server Error'.

I hit OK, then it says:
'Solution C:\..........\MOD11VB.sln' and its projects must be converted to
the formats used by this version of Visual Studio .NET.
If you choose to convert this solution, all of its projects will be
converted as well... etc

I choose No and it closes, I choose Yes and in the Solution Explorer it says
MOD11VB (unavailable)
The project cannot be found.

This happens to any .sln I have from any source, like sample apps, etc.

Also, I don't seem to have http//:localhost set up. Where or how is this
done? I installed MSDE and it says it is running. IIS seems to be running
in Services.

I am completely lost here....

Any help will be deeply appreciated!

Thanks,
Mich

If instead of http://Localhost, you use http://127.0.0.1, will you get the
same results?

Same results.

If I try to create a new Web Application, the default location and name is:
http://localhost/quickstart/WebApplication1

If I use http://127.0.0.1, or my PC's IP address, I get the same error
message.

I have installed Visual Studio 2005 Beta and taken it off, Visual Studio
2003 Academic and taken it on and now Visual Studio 2003 60 day trial.
I have installed and uninstalled all sorts of versions of .NET Framework.
I have installed MSDE using
Setup.exe /qb+ INSTANCENAME=NetSDK DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=1 SAPWD=xxxxxxx
based on something I read.

To tell the truth - I am completely lost here - the documentation completely
baffles me. I followed all the steps each version of VS required.

Can anyone please help me figure out what to install in what order, so that
I can try creating Web Applications?
