I have done the asp.net 4.0 site deployment in windows server 2003 by the following steps.

1. Undone the above steps I have mentioned.
2. Install framework 4.0
3. Create new application pool (if there is no option to create, please ignore this)
4. Open IIS6 -> Web Service Extension -> "Allow" framework 2.0 and 4.0
5. Add your website in IIS.
6. right click on your site -> properties -> go to "home directory" tab -> select the new application pool you have created.(if there is no option, please ignore this)
7. go to "ASP.NET" tab -> change the framework version to 4.0
8. browse your site.
