Could not connect to Virtual Server NOT Access Denied error

Message:

I installed VS 2005 on a Win XP SP2 computer that already had SP2 installed.
The install went fine but when I fire up the VS Admin Website it does not
connect. I get the page that most people complain about that says "Could
not connect to Virtual Server", but I do not get the Access Denied error
that most people complain about and gets resolved by running the following:

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=891609

My settings are already what the article says to do, but still I disabled
and enabled the settings just to be sure and it did not help.

I have even seen on some web postings that I should use "localhost" or
127.0.0.1 instead of my fqdn, but that has not helped.

One other note is that on the starting page for VS the "Recent Events" list
shows only "Virtual Server successfully started" events for each time I have
restarted the computer and in the Event log I don't see anything other than
successful startings of VS and even the services look like they started
fine.

Jordan,

Not sure if the following is your problem. It was mine when I first tried to
run the VS admin website.

Prior to running the program, verify "Internet Information Services (IIS)"
installed. Go to host "Start, Settings, Control Panel, Add or Remove
Programs, Add or Remove Windows Components" and verify IIS box is checked.
Detail files required include the "Common Files, IIS Snap-in, WWW Service (as
well as "WWW Service " Detail)".
