Installing Subtext on Vista - Request is not available in this context

Just a quick note when you are installing Subtext on Vista. After you add a webiste in IIS7, set your connection string, then browse to your site, you may get this error:

System.Web.HttpException: Request is not available in this context

To fix it open IIS, right-click your site, select Advanced Settings, change the Application Pool to Classic .NET AppPool.

After scratching my head twice over this same problem, I decided to make a quick entry. I hope this helps someone else.
