RE: Failed access to IIS metabase problem - Can anyone help please



hello there
we have resolved the issue and did this by re-installing asp.net 2 the
install was corrupt . i believe that it was installed in the incorrect order
we were using iso images of the operating system that iis was not running on
and were running iis after asp.net was installed ,,,making sure iis is
running before installing the asp.net 2.0 resolved our issue

Hi Stephen,

I am experiencing the same error message with my own application, and am
finding the information at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=267904 mostly
useless.

I have been advised by co-workers that it sounds like a permission problem
and that I need to grant access to the folder where the .aspx file I am
trying to browse occurs.

However, I am not having much success with this approach yet. If you have a
breakthrough I would be interested to hear how you solved it. If I solve it I
will let you know how.

Best of luck,

Mike
