ASP.Net 2.0 deployment question

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

We have an ASP .Net 2.0 application. When I use our .msi installer to install on a vanilla Win 2003 server, it installs more or less ok, with one exception. Though it tells IIS to use .Net 2.0, it seems aspnet_regiis has never been run on IIS. Therefore, when the app is accessed, it fails until someone manually runs aspnet_regiis.

I can certainly update our installer to run aspnet_regiis, but I was wondering if there was a more "correct" way to perform installation. Just trying not to trample on any standard installation methods here.

Thanks for any advice.
