So far I've failed to create a simple web-service using an .asmx file. This despite the fact that all the sources I can find on the subject claim 'it just works'.

The problem seems to be that when I look at the IIS configuration it doesn't include the .asmx .aspx etc. extensions. This results in starting Visual Studio whenever I point my browser to an .asmx file. I tried setting the extensions to the asp_isapi.dll, however now I still get a HTTP 500 - Internal Error.

My guess is that the .NET installation is not proper, but I can't find any clues to how to fix that.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
