IIS 7 Woes

I have been running an asp.net 2.0 app under IIS on several xp systems.  I have
a new machine with Vista Home Premium and IIS 7 and cannot get the website to
run at all.  I've probably hosed my IIs by trying so many different thnigs but
basically I get the following error

 

Configuration Error
Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file
required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below
and modify your configuration file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: It is an error to use a section registered as
allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level.  This error can
be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS.

Thanks

Well...I found the problem.  In case anyone else is as clueless as I am, When
you create the virtual directory on IIS 7 you have to make sure that you select
the asp  (or classic asp) application pool.  Otherwise you get countless
web.config errors that make little sense.

Hi Frank,

 

I am running IIS 6 but I am having a problem wih my virtual directory. How do
you create an application pool that is ASP. I know that I have it because I saw
it under control panel-->add remove programs, but when I create the virtal
directory and click on properties I do not see ASP as a tab, I only see BITS.
How do I get ASP to show up?
