ASP.NET Problem installing SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services

I am trying to install SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services on a machine with Windows Server 2003. It keeps telling me ASP.NET is not installed or not configured with the web server. I have registered it with IIS using "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspnet_regiis.ex
e -i" and I have installed all necessary updates and restarted the server. I've even set ASP.NET version 1.1.4322 as the default version on the Default Web Site. It is still claiming that it's not installed or not configured.

I checked the help and it says:

Report Manager is an ASP.NET application. If you are installing Report Manager, you must have ASP.NET installed and configured. Setup requires that version 1.1.4322 of ASP.NET be registered with IIS. If you are installing Reporting Services on Windows Server 2003, ASP.NET must be running as Network Service. For information about installing and configuring ASP.NET, see the setup documentation

As far as I can tell, ASP.NET 1.1.4322 is installed and configured and running as the user Network Service. Am I missing anything?

If you have not done actual Asp.net development in this box you are missing a lot because Win2003 comes with IIS not installed and when you install it IIS comes to just render HTML which means all components needed to run Asp.net are disabled. Now to how you fix it first remove IIS if it is installed, then you go to add it in add/remove Windows component add IIS then click on details in that box you will see all the sub components needed to run Asp.net that are disabled. When you have finished that, go into IIS and remove all the security restrictions that makes IIS to run only HTML.

Now to what you need to get SQL Server to install Reporting services 2000 make sure you are running SQL Server 2000 and have at least service pack 3a or 4 and please don't answer questions Windows ask you during the installation only answer questions relevant to you. Post again if you still need help but follow my instructions and you will get through I just helped two people with similar problems.

|||I tried that and didn't quite get there. I uninstalled the .net framework 2.0 as that was the default version on IIS and I don't think anything was using it. I also ran aspnet_ regiis.exe -i -enable.

It would have installed this morning but for the fact that SQL Server needed SP4 installing and everyone got in to work before I could get stuff installed!
