Hi,
   I had IIS running perfectly on my WinXP Pro laptop. It also had VS.NET
2002. Some time before my trip I removed VS.NET 2002, installed SP2 for
WinXP, installed the Microsoft Web Studio 2005 Beta/trial. Then I installed
VS.NET 2003 as well.

The problem is, now I am unable to do any webdevelopment on the machine! I
have a couple of web projects installed with their web sharing folders
properly set.

Now when I load the project on Visual Studio it is unable to connect with
the server.

Pointing my browser to http://localhost/MyWebFolder fails with "Page not
found or DNS error".

Checking the Task Manager I don't see any IIS process running.

I tried restarting IIS (as admin user) and it gives no error yet there is no
IIS running after the "restart".
I do however see the following on the Event Viewer:

Application image dump failed.
Server Application ID: {3D14228C-FBE1-11D0-995D-00C04FD919C1}
Server Application Instance ID: {2898FEEE-02A7-45A5-B667-E00BDF89C32C}
Server Application Name: IIS In-Process Applications
Error Code = 0x80004005 : Unspecified error
COM+ Services Internals Information:

Comsvcs.dll file version: ENU 2001.12.4414.258 shp

Since I am on a trip I did no bring my installation CDs so I hope somebody
has some answers and hints to save the purpose of this trip.
Regards,
Emilio
