I did this, too. And, for **** and giggles, I also temporarily had the Everyone group set with full rights. I ran into the same problem.

Even though I'm on W2K3 (running IIS6) I thought I would test with the ASPNet account, too. No luck either.

I ran across one posting where the user stated he had to give the Network Service account read access to his entire drive. What the heck! I hope that this isn't necessary.

Okay! So check this out...

It works! What was going on is the application pool (new for IIS6) owner was NOT the Network Service account. Instead it was the IWAM user account. Everything worked beautifully once I set up modify rights for the IWAM user on my directory.

For anyone else experiencing this same problem, check out the owner for your application pool. It may not be the Network Service account. If that's the case, give the application pool owner modify rights to your directory. Then, re-run your install.

And, to give credit where credit is due...

Here's the article I read which lead me to this discovery:

beats me. I am having a horrible time getting it to work.

Works ok if I compile under VS.NET and then run with SQL 2005 on my local machine, but as soon as I publish it - it just chokes. The install instruction don't quite match my setup, which doesn't help.

About the only thing that does seem to work is deleting everything, and then recompiling and recreating a brand new database. And then, it works only for as long I change nothing.

Fortunately, this is all testing for me at this point because I can't imagine what I would happen if I had switched 500+ users onto this system and then found out there is no way to re-open the database if the website has to be rebuilt. At least, I can't find a way....
