A user may also need to use the aspnet_regiis.exe tool to change script mappings for the web server in order to fix this error.

cd %WINDOWS_DIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\%ASP.NET_VERSION%\

aspnet_regiis.exe -e

aspnet_regiis.exe -r

Nice, I knew it was a simple fix

Thanks mate - nice and simple fix, and saved me lots of time messing around with VS.NET and IIS :-)

Thx alot man... i've been looking for that one... thx alot

I also don't have the ASP.NET tab, so this can not work for me. Anyone know how you get the tab?

thanx buddy,

u saved me a lot of time...

Dude, your the man

This fix worked perfectly for me. I currently only have VS2003 installed, but will be installing VS2005 shortly.  How will changing the version effect the VS2005 applications?  Please post or email me if you have the answer to s00zy66@gmail.com.

Muchisimas gracias por la ayuda!!!! :)

I had to install 2003 after having installed 2005 and ran into this problem.  I was afraid I was going to have to reinstall everything.

I looked at 50 posts about this today and tried every one of them.

Yours was the one.  Thanks for your help.

I have my asp.net version set correctly in IIS and I have also tried ran the aspnet_regiis.exe.  None of the suggestions have helped.  

I do have both v1.1 and v2.0 installed on the same machine, could that cause this error??  Can I uninstalled 2.0??  ANY HELP would be Appreciated!!!!

thnX you are the best

Awesome!  It worked for me after 3 days of hectic trying this and that.  Thanks a bunch!

Thanks alot.

I tried this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/893658 and this http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;896861 but no luck until I came across your blog.

Thanks a lotttt. This worked.

I am having the same problem however when I look on the ASP tab it has v2.0 in it, but that's the only choice. How do you change it back to 1.1?

Hi,

i got the same error message when the web.config was just missing.

Hi it was really helpful, i have framework 1.1, so i just changed the asp.net version to 1.0

Oh-baby! I've been fiddling about with settings for NET, settings for users, settings for settings trying to resolve this one... T H A N K  Y O U  V E R Y  M U C H dude..... :-))))

T H A N K  Y O U  V E R Y  M U C H

You are not less than GOD to me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanx for this post  :-)

Great solution.

it solved the problem. Thanks.

I tried to change it back to ASP.NET 1.1. But I still get that error while trying to run my 1.1 applications.

Thanks a lot. This is a time saving and a blessing. Immediately I set it to .NET 1.1.***, my web app executed in debug mode.

I cannot find ASP.NET tab either, but can still make debug work. Solution: from Directory Security tab, click Edit.. button, uncheck anonymous access box, and check Integrated Windows authentication box. Then start Vs again.

This is really helpful - having tried all the usual things (IE security settings, debugger users group etc), it's great to find such a simple fix that works!!

Thanks!

Count me as another satisfied consumer of this excellent tip.

Almost made me want to smack myself in the head for not aleady having checked it, but sometimes I guess we just need to hear it from someone else,,,

Thanks

David

:o)

Thanks for ur tip.I was trying all other possible steps, except urs.. and ur tip has done a gr8 job..

Thanks working fine

Great! Thank you very much.

I tried the suggested solution and it didn't work for me.

I then went into the C:\Inetpub\wwwroot folder and removed everything (you may need to do a restart before being able to do this)and started a project from scratch. I ensured that the project was set to use ASP.NET 1 as opposed to 2 (in IIS) and it worked.

The thing that was causing the problem for me was that there was a web XML config file in the wwwRoot folder that was trying to redirect evreything to .NET version 2.0. I moved it to a separate folder to test that everything else still worked ok before deleting it. Another thing to check is that the default website setting is only applied to new projects (i assume) and so for existing projects you will need to change the properties in IIS specifically for that project. Hope this may be of some help to someone.

Thanks ,

Its working, thanks a lot.

With regard to the post where i said that i removed everything from the C:\Inetpub\wwwroot folder, please note that the only file i actually deleted was the web XML config file. I restored all the other files after i had rectified the problem, as you need them for IIS to function correctly.

Thank u very much .It's very useful

Great ;) Fixed my problem thanks.

This is really cool stuff....my problem got solved

Spot on. I had 03 and 05 and it was defaulting on 2005. Thanks so much.

I tried the MSDN article but that was going no where, guess it was my fault, wanted to convert to 2005 but then when my app didn't convert correctly right away, I freaked!

thanks a lot it Helpt!

Thanks for this useful information.

Kind regards

Thanks a ton!!!! its really worthy info. I tried to solve the problem but.....didn't notice the asp.net tab's version combo. thanks once again!

Thanks a lot. Very helpful tip.

thanks dude! im running VS 2003 and 2005 in my pc...

Thanks a lot buddy!!! You saved my lots of time.

i have dotnet 1.1 and 2005 on system , i still getting this problem after applying all ur tips , plz reply me wht i have to do now

Thanks alot man, you helped me where the MS site FAILED.  

Just started a new job using VS 2003 & VS 2005, debug wasn't working & I felt a complete idiot. It works now so I only feel a partial idiot.

The MS site was no help, but your info solved it for me.

A VERY BIG THANKYOU.

Thank you very much it helped me lot and seved my time.

Thanks man!  Great to see a simple solution.. Worked for me!

Thanks giving a solution formy problem....

Ok. Now for those who dont have Asp.Net tab in Virtual Directory Settings of IIS. Do the Following:

cd %WINDOWS_DIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\%ASP.NET_VERSION%\

aspnet_regiis.exe -e

aspnet_regiis.exe -r

aspnet_regiis.exe -i

This essentially ends up doing the same thins as the new tab.

Cheers Mate. This Blog Rocks :D

Thanks a lot. Its working fine.

oh Shit, working...

Thank You Very much

i dont know what happen to me ? after i choose asp.net tab from 2.0 to 1.1 to debug in vs 2003

the default website is stopped and i start it but it show a error : the service didnot respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion . please help me

Really it worked fine. But when we use the vs 2005, with asp.net 1.1, whether the debug works ?

Cheers,

This is a gotcha if you are normally developing in 2.0 and point IIS back to an old 1.1 Site.

I am glad that I don't have to deal with 1.1 every day any more.

That was it.  Thanks so much!

Thanks a lot man...This error was driving me nuts.

Thanks a lot....really helpful...

Thanks alot.

2003 and 2005 VS are installed on my box. but i was getting  Unable to start debugging error

below command solved my problem

aspnet_regiis -e

aspnet_regiis -r

aspnet_regiis -i

thanks

Thank so much, but my problem it was becouse some services are in stop state.

But thanks anyway

This worked, thanks buddy

Thank you...solved my problem as well after days of frustration...

Thank U very Much

This helps us exactly

because in my system there two versions

thanks again

My special thanks to MB!!!! (my thanks to Paul for his blog that lead me to reading MB's comments, because I knew about the ASP.NET tab).

Removing the web.config in wwwroot has cleared the problem in 1.1. Now I also understand the issue with Unrecognized attribute 'xmlns'. It was obvoius IIS was trying to use 2.0, but why... only MS can explain why that ribbish is there. So what will hapen with 3.0? God help us!

anyone else get the feeling these comments are staged?

Thanks , This Helped

"Thanks, This Helped" (what else could I say)

Thanks you biscuit

Thanks - This Helped me...

Thanks buddy, I was confused from last some days due to this problem. Thanks!

非常感谢，一试就灵。Very very Good!

If you dont see 1.1 in the list under the ASP.NET tab,resinstall the framework by browsing to Windows\Framework\Microsoft.NET\1.1.. and run aspnet_regiis.exe /i

Thanks a lot for your sharing!!! It saves my time.

Thanks a lot!!! It worked

Thanks a lot!!! Save a lot of time for me!!

:) adding my entry to say thank you

Thanks a lot. But the problem is still there. I will handle it by myself. Anyway, thank  you very much.

Thanks - This Helped me :) I love internet :)

Thanks dear,

I was thinking it might be a simple fix, I was looking for this since long time, thanks a lot.

Correct, Thank(Gracias)

right on the money

bloody hell, it worked!!

Thanks a lot. Very useful information.

This worked for me:

In IIS Manager:

1. Remove the application configuration from the project directory.

2. Restart IIS

3. Create a new application for the project directory.

4. Restart IIS

Cool man... I broke my head for the past 3 hrs till i found your blog.... its a Home run!!

Your hint did not help me since the correct version of the framework was already selected in the ASP.NET tab. Rather I had to uninstall IE7. After that all my local sites worked again with debugging.

Right on the money!

Hey...

It works yaar...

Thank you very much

Great!! works fineee

thanks, very useful.

Is this some sort of joke site? Are there really 4 million developers who didn't know about this?

And all 4 million of them are deeply thankful!!!!

Thanks, very succinct and to the point, and it fixed my problem!

Excellent, Just in the point !!

Thanks

U R Great

thanx for help

it helped me

really great

Thanks... It worked like magic... Error disappeared...

......finally got this resolved. Simple but Greaaaaaaaaaat tips. Forgot about the ASp.Net tab. I tried 10 other security tips so far and yet with no luck. This one worked for me. Thanks a lot.

I got this same error message but resolved the issue a little differently. I'm running IIS 6.0 which doesnt have an ASP.Net tab.

- I clicked on the "Directory" tab and then clicked the "Configuration" button towards the bottom of the tab.

- The click on the "Debugging" tab and make sure the "Enable ASP server-side script debugging" checkbox is checked.

Thanks a lot!!! It worked

Friend,

I also faced same problem.

The solution I found is ...

Just unregister Dotnet framework 2.0

by aspnet_regiis -u

Register Dotnet framework 1.1 again.

by aspnet_regiis -i

Thats It!

Thank u Very Much..........................

Thanks dude. Its working after

configured aspnet_regiis -e

          aspnet_regiis -r

Thanks ya !!

it solve my problem and my sleepiness lol

I have done all seen all and MY PROBLEM STILL FREAKING EXISTS.

I have gone through site after site - to look for a solution : did all of the security tabs.. Windows Authent.. etc.. Asp.NEt Tab - an obvious - I am running VS2003 Only but have NET2.0 / Net 3.5 installed .. b/c I have sharpDevelop installed. This worked at one time and now it does not... I tried the iis reset magic with -e, -r, -i  

I reinstalled VS2003 .. and now I think I will reinstall Inet services...

I feel like someone zapped my computer .. strange thing - I can use my laptop and debug with VS 2005 but the VS2003 I cannot.. so I figured OK we will just install on the desktop and try it .. NUTS!! someone got any ideas that were not listed in the 1000's of post I see here..

if VS2003 is anly installed and you still getting the problem,then go to IIS-><your virtual directory>-

>properties->click "CREATE" button,possible your application is not created.

Thank  You Very Much

I finally got around to fixing the errors that were in this blog caused by using MS Word as my editor, (I finally got around to looking at my blog and seeing them). It seems, and I should have known this, that the curly double close quote isn\'t compatible

Thanks a lot.... problem get solved....

Thanks alot! problem solved

Thanks - it worked for me.

The weird thing is that everything worked find before today, suddenly I've got 1.1 apps thinking they're 2.0 apps, plus my 2.0 apps have lost their binding to Source Control. I wish I knew how these things happen.

could anybody please tell me how to change the version in the asp.net tab

Kool dude...This works

madar chod tell me the soln

madar chod gimme some solution

great solution but that didnt work for me !

i can believe how many dumb programmers out there who dont even know about the ASP.NET tab ...

anyway, dude im running iis 5.1 with .net 1 and 2, and project was build in 2003 supposed to use .net 1 but i get that stupid error (thanks MS, for wierd messages without any info)

ok if you're still reading the blogs it means u have not found the solution, this is what worked for me:

1- Open ISS manager, go to virtual dir, then properties.

2- Click on ASP.NET tab, and then remove

3- Click create, then ok

4- restart your iis. restart your computer

5- umplugg your pc.

6- open your window and toss it out, making sure that your copy of windows doesnt ever run again.

7- BUY A LINUX ENABLED COMPUTER !!!

8- write a letter to microsoft to let them know how bad their support, software, and everything else they do.

9- as an alternative you can change careers into holistic medicine or something !

10 - LOL this wont fix the problem but surely will get a smile out of you so you can keep searching and wasting your life with micosoft products !

You fucking animal....

Thanks a lot!!
