I'm familiar with IIS (not an expert) and write ASP coding a bunch. I understand anonymous usernames and the basics behind IIS 6.0 impersonation, but, I'm now trying to get an .net app to run on a Windows 2k3 server. It appears that it is much more complicated than it used to be. So here we go...

I've added the files that make up the app to the IIS 6.0 wesite. I attempt to run it from a browser and get an error that I see many others getting:
Error Msg:
*********************
Exception Details: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\Temporary ASP.NET Files\ilearn\ef80c615\45266ffc\hash.web" is denied.
**********************

Based on what I've read, this has to do with the configuration in the machine.config file, specifically the impersonate= and settings in the <process model> key. But I'm stuck there and can't disect what is going on with my coinfig in order to fix it. In other words, how do I figure out exactly what account the system is using? I've tried to use the ASPNET account and even added that to the administrators group but that doesn't work (I removed it now). Blah, blah, blah.

It appears that .Net is trying to make copies of the files. Why? If it is going to try to do this by default, why aren't the default security settings ready to go? Additionally, I'm having a very difficulty time finding a resouce that spells out the concepts behind what is going on, and how to fix it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks
