When you reinstalled everything, did you install IIS *before* you installed
Visual Studio .NET? I'm not familiar with Windows 2000 Advanced Server, but
IIS does not install as a default on W2K Pro.
Also, please tell us which edition of Visual Studio .NET (Academic,
Professional, Enterprise Developer or Enterprise Architect you are using?
