CAUSE

This problem occurs if you installed the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 on the same server on which SharePoint Portal Server 2003 is installed. Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server Virtual Server is in Internet Information Server (IIS). IIS Web applications that are running SharePoint Portal Server 2003 must use the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1. Therefore, you cannot install the .NET Framework 2.0 on the same server on which SharePoint Portal Server 2003 is installed.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, install Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2). After you install SharePoint Portal Server 2003 SP2, the SharePoint Portal Server Virtual Server that is running the .NET Framework 1.1 will work in the environment that has the .NET Framework 2.0 installed.

To download SharePoint Portal Server 2003 SP2, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
