Configuring IIS for asp.net in windows vista

In Vista , by defualt the windows authentication feature for IIS is checked off. In order to debug or to create web application from vs 2005, you must check this on. This is located under programs and features option in control panel.



Now to enable it, go to IIS manager.In the featured view , go to authenticaton to enable it.



Also,you must also need to turn the asp.net impersonation on.

Finally , in order to be able to load asp.net web projects (which needs the frontpage server extenstion) , you must install the IIS compatibiliy layer under programs and features option(required).

Finally, i have found that those who use skype, they cant possibly turn their IIS to running state and get protocol violation in loading web project. Therefore to avoid that, turn off the port 80 check under connection tab(skype).

Have fun.
