Yesterday I was working on a sample project got from a customer, when Visual Studio 2005 showed this dialog:
Ok I thought, let's fix the application mappings. I did, but got the following:
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:
Much better... and now Visual Studio does not complain anymore!

Kindly tell me how can i open the command prompt for x64 tool. I'v tried with no success :@.
I've installed Visual Studio 2005 Professional edition in Vista 64 bit operating system. IIS is working as it shows the pages when i run them without debugging. But when i put break point anywhere it just didn't enter to that break point. Please help me solving this problem.
Thank You
Kahif, if you have installed the x64 tools with Visual Studio, you can find the x64 command promt under Start > All Programs > Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 > Visual Studio Tools.
What do you do if you don't have VS installed? I need to fix application mapping for an app I just want to run, not a project I want to open/debug.
Ray, the command to run is the same, just open a cmd and go to the Framework installation folder. Here I mentioned the Visual Studio Command Prompt simply because it already has aspnet_regiis.exe in its path and I could save some typing, but there is really no difference other than that.
