Unable to run Visual Studio 2003 IDE on Windows 7 - iis-7

My machine has windows 7 and when I try to create a project from VS2003 IDE that is Dotnet v1.1 I'm getting the following error message:
Visual Studio has detected that the specified web server is not running asp.net v1.1. you will be unable to run asp.net web application or services
I have searched Google and found some links for the same problem but I am still not able to create asp.net project v1.1 from VS2003 IDE.

Have you tried the following article:
How to install ASP.NET 1.1 with IIS7 on Vista and Windows 2008
It says Windows Vista / Server 2008, however I am fairly certain that the same applied for Windows 7.
If you are having trouble understanding a specific part of the article then can you tell us which bit?

Visual Studio 2003's lifecycle ended in 2007,
http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/search/default.aspx?sort=PN&alpha=Visual+Studio&Filter=FilterNO
At that time, Windows 7 was not yet released, and such products should not be ever tested on Windows 7 internally.
So my guess is that you should continue using it on an older Windows platform (XP or Windows Server 2003).

Manually configure your web server for ASP.NET 4.0 in order for your site to run correctly

I am getting the attached error while trying to setup and run projects from the Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web.
I have tried the following with no luck:
Tried uninstalling .net framework versions VS 2012 web express error(in control panel the software framework is not getting listed)
Tried aspnet_regiis.exe but that produces the error that already framework 4.0 multi-targeting pack is available, Can anyone advice how to uninstall this package and install .net 4.5 in windows 10 machine.

ASP.NET 4.5 is not registered after upgrading to Windows 10

I have a WCF web service which was working on Windows 8.1. After upgrading to Windows 10, I noticed that the IIS is not installed anymore. So I installed it along with ASP.NET 4.6 in Windows features. Now, when I open the project in VS2013 it says that ASP.NET 4.5 is not registered. Shouldn't it work with ASP.NET 4.6?
I had the same issue and was able to fix it by installing Visual Studio 2013 Service Pack 5 (the latest at that time).
You can download it from here:
https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/vs2013-update5-vs.aspx
Make sure to select the right version according to the Visual Studio version you have.

My asp.net application needs the "IIS Metabase and IIS 6 Configuration Compatibility" - how to get rid of it?

Some while ago I've upgraded an asp.net 1.1 application (which ran on IIS 5 and 6) to .net 3.5 and later to .net 4.0 (and IIS 7.5)
Still, when I want to open it in VS, I need to install the "IIS Metabase and IIS 6 Configuration Compatibility". It works after I install it, but..
How to get rid of this requirement?
When debugging ASP.NET projects using Windows 7's IIS7.5 web server, Visual Studio 2010 RTM requires the IIS6 Metabase and IIS6 Configuration Compatibility components.
However Visual Studio 2010 SP1 fixes this dependency and VS2010 now works natively with IIS7.5 without any need to use the IIS6 bits.
I also proved this by knocking out a test project in Visual Studio 2003 and then copying to two different IIS7.5 machines configured as:
PC1: VS2010 RTM, no IIS6 Compatibility
PC2: VS2010 SP1, no IIS6 Compatibility
Here's a long-winded explanation (in case you need it) but the short answer (which also appears there) is to run
aspnet_regiis -ga <WindowsUserAccount>
I believe that this only happens when you upgrade a machine or you are not an administrator of the machine when you install .Net/Visual Studio. I recently had to do this on a brand new laptop with Visual Studio 2010 installed by others before I had admin rights. So, the way to get rid of this requirement from your end is to do the install as an admin.

Visual studio 2003 web projects

I have a requirement to work on a VS2003 web project.
I have VS2008,vs2010,vs2003 installed in my system
Other System details are
Windows Xp professional version 2 service pack 3. IIS 5.1
When i am trying to create a VS 2003 web project giving the localhost as path
i am getting the following error.
visual studio noted that specified web server is not running under asp .net 1.1 version.You will be unable to run asp .net web applications or services
I have used aspnet_regiis commands as well as a tool(ASPNETVersionSwitcher.exe ) to swith versions and in IIS also default web site ASP.NET version chosen as ASP.NET 1.14322.
I am still getting the error.
same error I get ,if I point a virtual directory in the existing 1.1 .NET web application and trying to open it.
Please advise, I have to work on this project as soon as possible.
Make sure all IIS Applications are using the same version of the framework. It is possible to have both 1.x and 2. I typically, uninstall using aspnet_regiis /ua which uninstalls all ASP.NET versions, then use aspnet_regiis to install ASP.NET as needed.
Make sure the "Virutual Directory" ASP.NET properties are correct for the version of Visual Studio you are using. Obviously, you cannnot use VS2k3 to connect to a ASP.NET 2.0 Virtual Directory.
Following is a dump of my installed ASP.NET versions.

I've seen people create a virtual machine (pc) using Windows XP as the guest OS. They would then install Visual Studio 2003 on the virtual machine and do their development there.
From what I gather those people ran into a similar issue like yours.
Another solution that I have heard was that Visual Studio 2003 needs to be installed first, before Visual Studio 2005, 2008, or 2010 are installed. I've heard that works, but only from a clean OS install (you can't uninstall all the versions and start over.)

can we use windows 7 home edition to develop asp.net applications

I am planning to buy a new laptop to learn asp.net web applications and also windows applications. Do we get IIS7 installed when we buy the home edition of windows 7 or should we buy windows 7 professional version?
Looking at some documentation on TechNet, it looks like all the Windows 7 Home editions (Starter, Basic, Premium) have the ability to install IIS, but it is not installed by default.
If you just want to learn, Visual Studio has a built in webserver for development that will work. If you want to deploy your web applications, this page has information on which versions of Windows 7 have which IIS options available
Following this thread, no problem found so far.
You don't need IIS for ASP.NET Development if you use Visual Studio.
Visual Studio Express for the web is free, and comes with its own web server.
http://www.microsoft.com/express/Web/
You can also create windows programs with Visual Studio Express for windows.
http://www.microsoft.com/express/Windows/
If you want to do both, then you may need to buy Visual Studio.
If you want to do local debugging of asp.net using IIS then you need one of these versions. Not supported on Windows 7 Home.
Windows 7 Ultimate
Windows 7 Professional
Windows 7 Enterprise
