[dba-VB] VS 2003 and IIS

Can anyone help me troubleshoot getting VS 2003 working with IIS.  IIS is
running on my machine.  If I place a valid default.htm I can open a browser
and type http://127.0.0.1/ in the address bar and it opens that default.htm.

When I try and create a new ASP.Net application In VS, I get:

The web server reported...

'http://localhost/webapplication1'. 'http/1.1 500 server error'

The project is not created, i.e. no files show in the solution explorer.

I need help on this, no clue what, why or how.

Thanks,
