I visited MS site and started asp_regiis -ga with Windows user name, administrator and aspnet, but nothing changed. Two years ago, when I tested older version 3.2.2, I had the very same problem, and solved it by selecting ASP ver.1. Now, I have to use ver.2. but I need ver.1 for another application.
