When running the Sharepoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard it
is failing with the following error:

Failed to create sample data.
An exception of type System.ArgumentException was thrown. Additional
exception information: The IIS Web Site you have selected is in use by

Hi Justin,
I was also getting the same exact problem, I am installing on vpc everything
went smoothly following the setup script mentioned in the previous entries
until I got to the configuration wizard, it stalled at the sample data for
2.5 hours, I was afraid to stop it and of course I got the failed error
message. Upon reading your responses I went in enabled all instances of
tcp/ip and name pipes on my sql server, (Sql express as installed by MOSS)
and I saw my SQL browser was stopped. I went into properties, hit the service
tab and saw it was disabled. I figured what the hey, i enabled it, started it
and ran the config wizard again. In 20 minutes it ran and finished with no
errors. Fluke? I don't know but thought you guys might want to know.
