Has anyone made this combination work? My laptop (Fujitsu M7400) only
seems to support XP Home.

I've got IIS running on XP Home, but Visual Studio 2003 doesn't
recognise it. Any thoughts?

Thanks

Did you install IIS after installing Visual Studio .NET? (I'd love to know
how you got IIS installed in XP Home, but that's another story)
If so, you need to establish mapping between VS and IIS.
Follow the procedures in Knowledge Base Article #306005,
which says in part (you should read the whole thing):
"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. "

I did originally, but I de-installed and re-installed VS.NET after
getting IIS working.

Like a lot of things, IIS works fine on XP Home, it is merely disabled,
and not configured on install. Try:

Just tried your fix, and it works! Thanks very much.

Interesting link! Thanks very much for the info.
Not my fix :-), but I'm glad it worked for you.
