  Re: Unable to view IIshelp using localhost. Reply Contact q123qazwsx: Please refer to the event log for more detail information. ... so what do the event logs say? q123qazwsx: I am unable to view any .aspx/.asp pages using virtual directory mapping feature of IIS. ... what does "unable to view" mean?  Is there an error?  What happens exactly?

  Re: Unable to view IIshelp using localhost. Reply Contact Event log : The server failed to load application '/LM/W3SVC/1/ROOT/IISHELP'. The error was 'Class not registered The problem I was facing was that I was unable to say "Hello" to the "world" :-) ( unable to see the output("Hello World") ). I was getting HTTP error 500. I searched about the "Class not registered" error and found many solutions on the web, none of which ,unfortunately, seemed to work for me. However, one of my friends said , this might happen if one installs .net Framework first and then IIS. So I reversed the process i.e installed IIS first and .net f/w later. It worked great. Though I am still in dark about what was causing the error. Anyways , thanks for taking the time to reply to this post :-) . Have a nice day, sir. .

Could not get the time to go through the links you posted. Though, I suspect, I have visited the second link earlier.  Anyways, just installing IIS firest followed by .net f/w helped me. Thank you for ur concern.
