This should be a fast answer.  I'm getting this exception from a module called Real Drop Zone.  I've also contacted the developer of it as well but really, the issue is the ASPNET user doesn't exist in Windows 8 to add to / give permissions to via the Registry to write to a security log file.

I've found the item that resolves the issue but no such user exists (ASPNET) in windows 8 to grant read permissions to the registry object in question.

 OK, which service might have to be started to expose the user (maybe that's it) or, what User Object do I now use to grant read permissions to the file?

I'm running Wiindows 8 Home. (I don't want to hear  have to upgrade to Pro to expose this user ... :)  I'm afraid this is the answer)  Thanks!

Can't find the edit button on my original post so I replied to myself to give more details.

 The website in IIS is in its own App Pool and has ASP.Net trust level set to Full(Internal)

Here is more detail from the exception.  From below, there's this: Inaccessible logs: Security.  OK, simple basics ... IS there a security log?  Should be -- there's a registry entry for it.  I don't know who has run into this but usually, since this is not rocket science (and my family name isn't von Braun) there's just some simple, missing thing  The real thing is not to focus on the complexity of the Exception but to look for simple stuff.

I've googled the description, the best I could find was setting trust level.  This is set in IIS 8 by selecting the site (called a domain in documentation -- go figure :) ), clicking on ASP.Net Trust Levels and by default it is set already to Full(Internal).  So this isn't it.  I've googled parts of the stack trace, this is what leads to modifying the Registry entry but there is no ASPNET account to add.

Any ideas?

Again, for some reason, no edit button is available once a post has been saved and I log out.

There is a known issue that the Real Drop Zone module developer will help me solve here.  Evidently, once the site has been restored on a development machine only accounts created after that are recognized by the module.  We'll be working on it.

So, this isn't a strange Windows 8, IIS or DNN issue.  But thanks and I'm glad to have provided some interesting reading.

I'll mark the issue as resolved.
