IIS & SQL Server 2005 Express Edition installation problems in Vista

Hi,

Im encountering yet another problem in Vista(Vista Home Premium). I have turned on all IIS features from control panel. When I open http://localhost it gives the error

HTTP Error 404.4 - Not Found

Description: The resource you are looking for does not have a handler associated with it

How should i resolve this?

Also, when I try to install SQL server 2005 express edition, it gives the warning that IIS is not installed, though I have installed all the features and it is running.

I have been struggling for the past one week, just to install SQL server on vista!

Please help.

Thanks

Hi, I have gone through the entire thread you pointed me to... but to no avail. I have installed asp.net under IIS without any problems, but im still having the same issues i mentioned earlier. When I open IIS manager, under handler mappings, ISAPI-dll and CGI-exe are disabled by default. Could this be a problem? How do I enable them? please help.

|||Added the defauly http handler for *.htm and *.html extensions in IIS manager. It seems fine now.
