I think you should be able to, though I haven't done anything like htat for a long time. It sounds like the server didn't get started. I hopesomeone with more experience can answer better.

This tutorial is a little older, but I remember using it back in the day: Using Visual Studio 2003 on Windows 7[^]

I also found this thread: social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums[^]

This is the steps I take to successfully install Visual Studio .Net 2003 on my Windows 7 Enterprise machine :

1) Install FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions for IIS 7.0 (download here).
2) Install Visual Studio .Net 2003. Just skip when the installer command you to configure Frontpage 2002 Server Extension.
3) Install .Net Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 (download here).
4) Go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. Highlight your machine, then double-click on ISAPI and CGI Restrictions. Change setting for ASP .NET v1.1.4322 to Allowed.

Maybe there are some unnecessary steps, but it works for me. I hope this it works for you too.
