ASP.NET 404 and Windows Server 2003

Ran into this today and it'd been so long since I'd fought with this issue, it took me some time to re-figure it out.  So, as a reminder to myself...

If you're getting a 404 Not Found on an ASP.NET application running on Windows Server 2003/IIS6 that should be working just fine - the files are definitely there and the permissions are correct and everything - don't forget to make sure ASP.NET is enabled in the IIS Administration Console under "Web Service Extensions."

If you uninstall and re-install ASP.NET, these settings get reset to "Prohibited" so ASP.NET won't work.  You'll need to change them to "Allowed."

Web Service Extensions inside IIS6 admin console.

Thank you! And to Kian Ryan, who said this was "obvious really" - no it's not! It would be obvious if an event would show up in the Event Viewer stating the problem, but all the help we get from Windows is a 404 message.
