Trouble installing Sharepoint on a fresh Windows Server 2003 SP2

When installing Sharepoint 3.0 Service Pack 1 onto a fresh Windows Server 2003 installation, you can sometimes fall foul of Sharepoint complaining that ASP.net 2 is not installed:

“This product requires ASP.NET v2.0″

I found the solution over at Sharepoint Blogs. Run the following command on the server:

 C:\Windows\Microsoft.net\Framework\v2.0.50727\Aspnet_regiis.exe -i 

This will register .NET 2 with IIS and you should be able to use Sharepoint properly from that point on.
