Had an issue today with the dreaded ASP.NET tab missing in IIS. After doing quite a bit of googling, it seems others have had this same issue, but mostly with 64-bit systems. In this case, the system is 32-bit with .NET 3.5 SP1 (and associated post-fixes). Found a rather handy tool to supposedly address the issue, however the problem persisted:

Did some further investigation and noticed most of the values under the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ASP.NET\2.0.50727.0 were missing, yes, missing. Compared the values to that of another machine, then manually created each. After re-creating the keys, closing the MMC, then re-opening, the tab re-appeared. Most likely the issue was related to the missing keys, however the script may have assisted as well.
The missing keys also caused this exception in the log aspnet_regiis log file:
Failure Reading the registry: Software\Microsoft\ASP.NET\2.0.50727.0/DllFullPath: Reading the registry: failed with HRESULT 80070002: 'The system cannot find the file specified. '
