Error while installing web tools.

Question

I am currently trying to install E-Commerce and Web CRM on a Windows Vista desktop PC, that we are going to use as a Demo PC for potential customers.  It is just a demo, so everything is being installed locally on the Demo PC.  I run into an error while installing the Web Tools
After the Default Install and before I precede to the Advanced install, I browse to - localhost/B1webtools - and rather than load up the webtools license key request page, I am getting the following error.
HTTP Error 404.17 - Not Found
The requested content appears to be script and will not be served by the static file handler.
I didn't run into any errors during the default install, and it appeared to function just right.
Does anyone know what would cause this error???
Server Error in Application "DEFAULT WEB SITE/B1WEBTOOLS"
Internet Information Services 7.0
Error Summary
HTTP Error 404.17 - Not Found
The requested content appears to be script and will not be served by the static file handler.

Most likely causes:
u2022     The request matched a wildcard mime map. The request is mapped to the static file handler. If there were different pre-conditions, the request will map to a different handler.
Things you can try:
u2022     If you want to serve this content as a static file, add an explicit MIME map.
Links and More Information
Sometimes preconditions and a wildcard MIME map can unintentionally cause serving script source.

Any help would be much appreciated.  Thanks

Okay so I changed my Application pool and it solved that error.  Now I'm able to get the page that has a link to the request license page, but when I click on that link it gives me this error:

I have repeatedly gotten this error on all Windows Vista machines that I try and install webtools on.  Does anyone have a good idea on this one?
