Sorry for the delay in getting back to you,
I should be able to email that file to you.
I've only had one person confirm this but I'm sure it's not something you've done anything wrong;
The file just simply isn't there.
After reading many posts I got the impression this file was supposed to be "created" by scripts when the installation ran according to combinations of options in the web.config.
Its only when I stumbled accross an obscure post with a link to the file and a suggestions on where to put it. (BTW You also need to move a file called sitesurls.config or something) that I finaly got somewhere.
Mind you thats not before I'd rebuilt the OS and noticed some inconsistant behavior in ASP.net and Application server installs!
I'm running server 2003 so not sure if you'll encounter any of that, you 2k Work station or server?)
I'll try and dig out a link to the file if I can't find it i have the file on my PC, and could send it to you?
Have a look through all of my posts (Only about 10 or so) in there might be some clues for you.
Unfortunately the problem seems to be caused by a combination of things rather than one.
Hope this helps, i'll try and dig that link out.......
Richard.
