Has a solution to this problem been found yet?
I too get the "The appropriate MIME map is not enabled for the web site or application" error. I tried the servicemodelreg -i but could not run from the account vista created durring setup. I had to enable and config the policy to allow Administrator account to logon. Logged in as the Administrator I could run the servicemodelreg but that did not resolve the problem.
I found the following page on adding a mime type (http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServer/f/?en/Library/17bda1f4-8a0d-440f-986a-5aaa9d40b74c1033.mspx)But that appears to be pre-beta2, since common http features is now just http features and there are no options in IIS 7 under vista beta 2 for mime types.
I aslo seem to have a prob with visual web dev 2005 express. Opening a website uder local IIS gives an error "you must be a member of the administrators group on the local computer to access the IIS metabase. Therfore, you cannot create or open a local IIS web site. ect" even logged in as the Administrator. Creating a new website with the location set to Http the error is "The data area passed to a system call is too small". I'm guessing this too is related to IIS.
