I had a few "issues" with my hard drive and ended up replacing it.  One of
the side-effects was my drive letters changed.  I checked VS .Net 2003 after
the drive restore and it all worked until I tried to create an asp.net app.
Then I got:

Cannot find the components for communicating with the FrontPage server
extensions

So, I tried uninstalling VS .Net.  It crashed.  But after many hours of
convincing I managed to do a re-install to a new location.  Same error.  I
tested my web server with FrontPage 2003.  Worked.  Tried reinstalling the
.Net Framework.  Removed and reinstalled IIS.  Remapped the .Net extensions
in IIS (sigh!).

Now I'm right back to where I started.  I've reinstalled everything.  And
I'm back to the same error.  I'm getting no errors in the event logs, but
the IIS log:

when trying to create a new project.  I've added a blank get_aspx_ver.aspx
to the root.

Help!
