ASP.NET MVC - Location Views Problem: Index Index or Wizard Not Found

Question

I created an asp.net MVC 2 project, it works great !!

I was asked to integrate the project into an existing web project in classic asp.net

(I add the folder containing the source, and do not create a new project, because they must bees in one project)

I configured the file web.config

<pages pageBaseType="System.Web.UI.Page" >
      <controls>
        <add tagPrefix="asp"
             namespace="System.Web.UI"
             assembly="System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
        <add tagPrefix="asp"
             namespace="System.Web.UI.WebControls"
             assembly="System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
      </controls>
      <namespaces>
        <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc" />
        <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Ajax" />
        <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Html" />
        <add namespace="System.Web.Routing" />
        <add namespace="System.Linq" />
        <add namespace="System.Collections.Generic" />
        <add namespace="SearchApp.Helpers.CheckBoxList"/>
        <add namespace="SearchApp.Helpers.Pager"/>
      </namespaces>
    </pages>
    <httpModules>
      <add name="ScriptModule" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptModule, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
      <add name="UrlRoutingModule" type="System.Web.Routing.UrlRoutingModule, System.Web.Routing, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"  />
    </httpModules>
    <!--- END MVC config section-->

and my global.asaxfile (I work in IIS 5.1):

public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
        {
            routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");           

            routes.MapRoute(
                "SearchApp", // Route name
                "SearchApp/{controller}.aspx/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
                new { controller = "Search", action = "Index", id = "" } // Parameter defaults
            );
        }

protected void Application_Start(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
            AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();

            RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
}

Project hierarchy (I cannot find how to insert an image in a message):

 +Project
 ++MVC2AppFolder
 +++Controller
 ++++SearchController.cs
 +++Views
 ++++Search
 +++++Index.aspx
 ++global.asax
 ++web.config

as you can see it is global.asaxnot in the MVC application folder

when I try to access the Search / index.aspx page using this url http: //localhost/cstfwsrv/SearchApp/Search.aspx/Index [ ^] has the following error:

I
