The resolution here is to install ASP.Net support into IIS7, not run
aspnet_regiis.exe.
You will need to enable the ASP.Net Feature in IIS7 to be able to run
your ASP.Net application on it, and this is how you do it:
Open Control Panel
Programs\Turn Windows Features on or off
Internet Information Services
World Wide Web Services
Application development Features
ASP.Net <-- check mark here
When you do that checkmark, several other dependency features will
auto select. That is ok.
For those interested in the details and rationales
This is an additional step not required of IIS6 since IIS6 installed
everything by default and gave you no such choice. IIS7 allows
ultimate customization and configuration of what is installed, but
that leaves open the possibility that you may try to run something for
which you have not installed proper support since default IIS7
installation is very spartan and secure.
If you get 404.3 from IIS7 running ASP.Net page is it most likely
because you did not install ASP.Net support in IIS7. Default IIS7
installation only serves static files, which means that when it tries
to serve .aspx as a static file it won't find a MIME Type defined
for .aspx (it shouldn't -- .aspx needs to be processed on the server,
not returned verbatim to the client), and thus return 404.3.
Getting a 404.3 for .aspx means that the handler definition for .aspx
is missing, so the request is incorrectly falling through to the
static file handler. And the .aspx handler is missing because ASP.Net
Feature is not installed to add it. Even if you use aspnet_regiis.exe
to generate the handler configuration, you *still* need to install the
actual binaries implementing ASP.Net as Windows Features, and
aspnet_regiis.exe cannot do that. ASP.Net functionality needs at least
the ISAPI Extension and ISAPI Filter Features for Classic Mode and Web
Engine for Integrated Mode, none of which are installed by default nor
installable by aspnet_regiis.exe.
Now, IIS7 is not installed by default, and the default IIS
configuration only serves static files with anonymous authentication.
It does not serve CGI, ISAPI, ASP, ASP.Net, PHP, Perl, etc -- nothing
other than static HTML. This is the secure "default" configuration.
