    OK, so I installed 3.5 on my Windows Server 2008 box w/o problem... but on my 2003 one I get an unhelpful "Server Application Unavailable" error whenever i try to run an application under it - I can run simple HTML, classic ASP or even .NET 1.1 applications fine, but change the domain's setting to 2 (doesn't show 3.5 but I gather this is normal..?) in IIS and the error comes. I can find nothing in the so-called log file... has anyone else encountered this after installing 3.5 on 2003? Any hints? (btw, 2.0 was already installed, and working, on both machines) cheers Phil

      You may need to re-register .Net2.0 in order to get this working. Apparently, .Net 3.5 is not a separate item, but an extension of 2.0, and there is no registration tool for it. This blog[^] entry may have some useful hints.

        Hi Roger, thanks for replying - as luck would have it I've been out of action since posting due to the dreaded lurgy getting me - ugh. Nasty one doing the rounds.... Actually it was relatively easy in the end: the solution was to create a new application pool and have it run under that, rather than relying on the default one. cheers Phil
