When trying to view my Quickstarts tutorial pages which
are installed on my system I get a "HTTP-403 Forbidden"
message (You are not authorized to view this page).

Was I supposed to grant myself some privileges during the
installation of the Microsoft .NET Framework SDK 1.1.

I run XP professional and attempt to get to the page(s)
via the following path:

start -> All Programs -> Microsoft .NET Framework ->
Samples and Quickstart tutorials.

I can get to the first, main, page. But am blocked from
reaching other links (e.g. ASP.net QuickStarts, Windows
Forms QuickStarts, Common Tasks QuickStarts, etc).

Any ideas??

Steve

Did you follow all the steps to install and configure the samples as
provided on the main page below the choices?
"Step 1: Install the .NET Framework Samples Database
Many of the QuickStart tutorials illustrate how to manipulate a SQL Server
database using SQL and ADO.NET. To run these samples, a SQL Server instance
is required. Clicking on the above link will install a standalone database
tailored for the QuickStart tutorials.

Note: The .NET Framework Samples Database setup program may require a
reboot. After rebooting, return to this page to complete the QuickStart
tutorials installation.

Step 2: Set up the QuickStarts
Because the QuickStarts demonstrate a wide variety of the .NET Framework
technologies, some machine configuration is required. The link above
configures your machine to run the QuickStarts. This includes importing four
sample databases into the MSDE database server, creating several Internet
Information Services (IIS) virtual directories, and compiling several
samples. In order to complete these operations, you must be logged in using
an account with Administrator privileges. For a complete list of tasks
accomplished in this step, including manual instructions for configuring the
QuickStarts, see the Configuration Details document."

If you haven't already done so, follow these steps and then see if you can
reach the desired pages.
