dotnet sdk: I unintentionally uninstalled my IIS server in windows xp.
I then reinstalled it.
I cannot see any quickstart directories.
When I click on quickstart
I get error 404 cannot find page
"http://localhost/quickstart/ASPPLUS/
The directory is not there. I have already at the outset installed MSDE
with instance "netsdk".

What can I do to reinstall the quickstart samples and tutorials.

I have read the other questions re quickstart and they refer to an error
403 which is different then mine. (The solution for error 403 said
something about setting default.aspx in iis - a little more explicit step
by step help on how to do this will probably also be required (after I
can get the quickstart reinstalled)

I have now found all solutions and have it running.

Please see also Richard Warren's response to HTTP Error 403.

The first help came by being able to rerun the configuration for
QuickStart.

I clickedk configure details at bottom of page obtained by
start >All Programs>Microsoft .NET Frameword SDK 1.1>Samples and QuickStart

This took me to a page located at

c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\SDK\v1.1\Samples\Setup\
HTML\ConfigDetails.htm

which was excellent and helped me to get back on track.

The next error was HTTP 403 Forbidded. The hint for that solution came
from Richard Warren's answer. At first I did not know how to
update the Default Document List but a little reading took me through
the steps.

start>control panel>administrative tools>IIS and right click default website
choose properties>document tab>add>default.aspx and all worked.

Prior to that, I could get it to work by manually keying default.aspx after
the ......./aspplus/ i.e. ..../aspplus/default.aspx which was also a
preliminary break through in solving the problem.

Thanks again to Richard Warren.

This matter is now closed
