Local IIS Website Errors

Question

I am using Visual studio web developer 4.0, in which I am creating a locally ISS hosted website.

My problem is while I am opening the website from visual studio I am getting errors such as:

ASP.NET 4.0 has not been registered on the webserver. You need to manually configure your web server for asp.net 4.0 in order for your site to run correctly...

When I am trying to serve a debug website I am getting the error:

Unable to start debugging on the server. Could not start asp.net debugging. More information my available by starting the project without debugging.

Then I navigated to my startup page without debugging and then the error in browser is

The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration. If the page is a script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded, add a MIME map.

I have tried registering asp.net with aspnet_regiis -1. I'm using windows 8.

Answer 1

You have two options:

1. Manually configure web server for asp.net 4.0
2. Reinstall .NET framework

Number two is recommended.
