I am using Windows Server 2003 for some development on some ASP.NET 2.0 projects. However, when I tried to compile my first project I had an error that said:
“This product requires ASP.Net web service extensions to be enabled in Internet Information Services (IIS)”.
I went into my Administrative Tools-> Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager, and I didn’t find my Web Service Extension for ASP.NET 2.0. Consequently, I had to install asp.net (2.0.50727) WebService Extensions.
In order to do this, I used a command prompt and went to:
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727.
In that directory I typed:
aspnet_regiis -i
After this you should see in your command prompt something that says like this: “Start installing ASP.NET (2.0.50727)”. After the extensions are installed you should see something like this: “Finished installing ASP.NET (2.0.50727)”. At this point, this error should be solved, and your ASP.NET 2.0 WebService Extensions should be installed.
