Hello there everyone..
OK, I'm trying to install Aras Innovator and Vault. I have a Windows Server 2003 machine that is running the innovator and the vault, and a separate machine (our main database server) which wil house the database. Here's what I've done:
Install IIS on machine.
Install .NET framework 2.0 from MS. .NET 1.1 was already installed. Restart after .NET install. (No program group icons for .NET 2.0 show up)
Run the installer. Go through all of the defaults. Connect to database and installs database nicely. Installer finishes successfully.
I run the .net configuration tool locally on the server (as I will be at least initially accessing it from teh local machine). Successfully runs.
I try to access the login screen at localhost/InnovatorServer and I get nothing. 404.
I can access localhost/.../minidiag.asp but nothing else. What did I do wrong?

I think you mean localhost/.../minidiag.htm. Anyway. What does happen if you try to access localhost/.../default.aspx ? localhost/.../Innovator.aspx ?
What are the error details ? (Uncheck "show friendly HTTP error messages" in your IE settings)
What ASP.Net version is used on server ? (check ASP.Net tab in your InnovatorServer IIS virtual folder properties)
Do you have other ASP.Net web applications installed ? (this may require to create a separate application pool)

Okay, first, I am going to assume you mean localhost/.../mini-diag.html
Good catch, becuase this indicates everything is installed, but ASP pages are not loading.
Lets make sure ASP pages are enabled on your server.
1) Log onto the server that you have the Innovator Server installed on.
2) From the Start menu select Settings --> Control Panel
3) Open Administrative Tools
4) Open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager
5) Expand (local group)
6) Select Web Service Extensions
7) In the panel on the right, there should be an entry ASP.NET v2.0.50727. Highlight it.
8) Select the Allow button.
9) Close Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager
Let me know if this helps,
Bill

This works like a charm. Big thanks for that :)

I ended up installing cleanly on another machine and was successful in getting it to work. Thank you for the reply, however, I think this would have fixed it.MarkD - Tuesday, May 15, 2007 9:40 AM:
This is obviously a few months late but since I ran into this exact issue with my server.
If you install IIS on a windows x64 (a version of 2003) or windows 2003 server machine the default settings for IIS prohibit most of the services, but for some reason the .NET service doesn't show up under the IIS settings
The fix:
1. Navigate to Computer Management (Under Administrative Tools)
2. Go to Services and Applications, then Internet Information Services, then Web Service Extensions.
3. On the right hand pane you'll see a few prohibited services, Allowing All Unknown ASAPI Extensions will enable you to access the ARAS via internet explorer.
This is basically the solution Bill gave, as I was following his instructions to solve my problem, except for some reason the .NET 2.0.x extension didn't to show up for me. Allowing all seems to cover this option if you can't specifically select the .NET one by itself.

If you don't see this, you can try to do a repair on the .NET Framework from Add/Remove Programs. This should reinstall it.
Alternately, you try can add this manually, if you feel comfortable doing so.
Extension Name = ASP.NET v2.0.50727
Required Files = C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727aspnet_isapi.dll
You will also need to enable Active Server Pages.
