title: Visual Studio 2003 - opening ASP.NET project - getting “The operation timed out” error message
body: <p>On a Windows 2003 server I installed several versions of Visual Studio, also Visual Studio 2003. On the server I want to develop two different webapplications. One web application is working, but I go problems on the other one.</p>
  
  <p>When I try to open the application (after a rebuild), I get the error: "The Web server reported the following error when attempting to create or open the Web project located at the following URL: '<a href="http://localhost/MyApp" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://localhost/MyApp</a>'. 'The operation timed out'." I have already seen that the problem disappears when I delete the dll file generated by building. Because the environment will be distributed to multple users, it is not an option to remove the dll everytime to start Visual Studio.</p>
  
  <p>I already tried multiple times to reregister asp.net with aspnet_regiis -u, aspnet_regiis -i and aspnet_regiis -r.</p>
  
  <p>When I execute aspnet_regiis -lv I get the following:
  1.1.4322.0      Valid (Root)    C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspnet_isapi.dll
  2.0.50727.0     Valid           C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_isapi.dll</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone knows a solution to this problem?</p>
