Rose,

I too am having this same problem on one of our 2kas
webservers, As it is I'm working on two theories,

i) The system user account has lost permissions on a sub-
folder under c:\winnt (This would also be supported by the
fact I have always have 2 instances of the DLLHOST.exe
trying to run the same .net runtime but being told access
was denied.

ii) The Metabase hasn't being configured correctly when
installing the .net framework and is trying to run system
level tasks that allow .net web applications run using
only the IUSR_Machine name account,

I am positive that its a permissions thing and leaning
towards the .net installation as the server was running
fine up until the point that I installed the framework.

Cheers

Steve.
