.NET 3.5 missing from the ASP.NET drop down in IIS after new install

asp.netiisnet

I have just installed the .NET 3.5 Framework to my Windows 2003 server and when I try to create a new website I can't select 3.5 from the web site properties ASP.NET tab in IIS.

This works fine with 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0.

I know the framework install process was completely different with 3.5, but I assume it should be available in the drop down.

What can I do to solve this problem?

That's because ASP.NET 3.5 still uses the CLR from 2.0. The CLR hasn't changed in 3.5, it's more an extension to 2.0. (I hope I say this correct)

So while you cannot choose 3.5, you can run webapplications written in 3.5.
