ASP.NET has no access to IIS metabase
17,733
Solution 1
The rights of the ASPNET user have not been set correctly.
What version of ASP.NET are you running?
try
Start -> Run
Type cmd <HIT RETURN>
Type c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis -i <HIT RETURN>
or as suggested
aspnet_regiis.exe -ga ASPNET
Solution 2
Running asnet_regiis with the -i option might not be enough, as the reason might be the lack of proper IIS Metabase access rights for ASPNET account.
I would suggest running it with the -ga option:
aspnet_regiis.exe -ga ASPNET
As a general comment, this issue will occur if one installs Visual Studio and/or the .Net Framework before installing IIS.
Solution 3
try running aspnet_regiis -i from the dotnet directory. It has a way of fixing things.
