I just received this error when I tried to create a new asp.net web app with vs2010/windows 7. The solution is you need to go to "Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off" and install at least the two missing components. After this is done you need to open visual studios command prompt and type "aspnet_regiis -i".
