This really sounds like a Visual Studio .NET or ASP.NET problem. Do your
existing ASP.NET Web applications run? Start IIS and see if you can browse
one of the apps. If not, you probably need to run:

aspnet_regiis -i

That should take care of most of the registry issues you are worried about.

Good luck,

Jeff
