I am making a new ASP.NET website and I have brought over the code from an existing website and refactored.

I am using Visual Studio 2010 and IIS 7 and Windows XP SP 3.

It works just fine when I click Debug > Start With Debugging (F5) in Visual Studio and it runs on the development box, no problem.

Then I click Build > Publish Web Site and blank out all the checkboxes and just publish it. When I zip the files up and shoot them to my boss and he puts them on his IIS box, it complains:

The file '/default.aspx' has not been pre-compiled, and cannot be requested.

What I am totally confused about is why am I getting this error when my site works just fine in Visual Studio. Here's the log from IIS:

Does anybody have a clue as to what I might be doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
