I am getting the following message when trying to open an existing solution.

"Visual Studio .NET cannot create or open the application. The likeliest problem is that required components are not installed on the local Web server. Run Visual Studio .NET setup and add the Web Development component."

I am sure that this component was already installed. What could be the problem?

Go into your Microsoft.NET directory (usually
C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322 or C:\Windows\...) and run
the executable "aspnet_regiis.exe". You need this in order for ASP.NET
to work.
