Trouble accesing IIS 5.1

Hiya,

I am trying to open a new ASP.NET Web Application Project using Visual Studio .NET, but it is denied with the following error:

Web Server reported the following error when attempting to create or open the Web Project located at the following URL : "http://localhost/WebApplication1"
'HTTP/1.1 403 Access Forbidden'

I installed everything correctly, first IIS 5.1, then Visual Studio .NET with the update of ASP.NET to 1.1. The error was there even before the update, so I don't think that might be a cause for this problem.

Would appreciate your help guys, as I have to submit the project soon, and really need to get going. Thanks ever so much.To fix IIS mappings for ASP.NET, follow these steps:

1. Click Start -> run -> cmd - ENTER
2. 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 need to replace with the actual version number when you type the command.

3. Register the Aspnet_isapi.dll by clicking start -> run
4. In the Open text box, type "regsvr32 %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\version\aspnet_isapi.dll" and then press ENTER
I have re-installed everything, first IIS 5.1, then Visual Studio .NET. Now, it is coming up with the "HTTP/1.1 500 Sever Error"

My initial problem was solved when I followed advice posted below:

When I tried to run commands you provided, it returned an error, saying The command is not specified. I suspect it might be because I put 1.1 instead of version in that command. Probably it is not just 1.1 but the full version, which I don't know. Could you advice.

Thanks once again for your kind help.
