Hey All,
I have seen this issue a few times and it is caused by a few different things, but lets start with this first:
Have you checked to make sure that the user you are trying to install under is a part of the IIS worker processer group?
- The group is IIS_WPG in windows server 2003 (I know you are running 2008 but just wanted to get the data out there for others that might not be running 2008)
- The group is IIS_IUSRS in windows server 2008
* This is one of the two things that happens when you do an aspnet_regiis -ga during the install. It adds the user the the group above as well as adding the user as the application pools Process Model's Identity, as seen below ~
IIS_IUSRS group:
Application Identity:
Let me know if this works out for you or not! If not I will send a few other things that can cause the issue.
Cheers
