This answer I found on the web seems to work.......
Wine.. thanks..I didnt try that, but I noticed that the Web Matrix install
wasnt letting me go local server either, so I figured the problem was with
the XP upgrade I did.
Sure enough, I found out that if you have installed the .NET framework on XP
Home, then try to upgrade to XP Pro, the install gets confused. However,
Microsoft apparently had enough where withall to provide a function for
fixing this problem. Simply type this in at the command line:
C:\WINDOWS\Microsof.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspnet_regiis.exe -i
You will need to check your particular system to see what 1.1 release folder
you need to use, mine was the 1.1.4322. This fixed my install and everything
is running just fine.
