The error indicates that IIS is not installed on the machine. Please install IIS before using this tool

Yesterday I was working on a sample project got from a customer, when Visual Studio 2005 showed this dialog:

application mappings error
application mappings error

Ok I thought, let’s fix the application mappings. I did, but got the following:

iis not installed error
iis not installed error

What? Are you kidding me? ? Of course IIS is installed, I’m using it every day…

But wait a minute, I’m running on Vista x64 and this rings a bell to me… Let’s use the x64 Visual Studio command prompt and give it another try:

x64 aspnet_regiis -i
x64 aspnet_regiis -i

Much better… and now Visual Studio does not complain anymore! ?
