Hello, Anyone seen this.  Sorry.  I'm brand new at this stuff.

WinXP Pro SP2, IIS 5.1, SQL Server 2000, .NET Framework 2.0, ASP.net 2.0.  I'm sure I followed instructions correctly.

Server Error in '/dwub' Application.

The process account used to run ASP.NET must have read access to the IIS metabase (e.g. IIS://servername/W3SVC). For information on modifying metabase permissions, please see http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=267904.

Is that a cmd prompt?  Profile?

sorry, yes at the cmd prompt, more that likely it won't be in your PATH, do a "search" to locate it. (its under C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\FRAMEWORK_VERSION

I am having a similar issue,

when using  aspnet_regiis –ga <WindowsUserAccount>

is the <WindowsUserAccount> ASPNET, the Anonymous account defined by ASP.Net 2 or a physical user.

 

Thankyou
