My system is a Windows Server 2003 SP1 and I have not installed any hotfixes
to it since the 9th of November (KB896424) and it didn't stop working until
the 15th.  I tried to uninstall this last patch as well but with the same
result.
I have also checked the MS article "Default permissions and user rights for
IIS 6.0" (http://support.microsoft.com/?id=812614) and my server is correct
according to the articel.
It is only when I add the IUsr_<ComputerName> account to Administrators it
works, if I add it to Power Users which also have a lot of rights in
%WinDir%\System32 (scrrun.dll) I get the same error.
And finally I don't have an anti virus system that blocks the use of this
functionality. (I even disabeled it just to be sure).
