Running IIS 5.1 on local machine running XP Pro SP2
Trying to debug an ASP.NET app
Error: Unable to start debugging on the web server. Access is denied.

Is my problem with IIS?
How do I fix this?

Thanks,

New installation? If so, did you install IIS after Visual Studio?
Did you used to be able to debug, or have you never been able to debug?
Are you signed on with an administrator account and password?
Please provide more information.

Peter,

Yes it's a new installation, (a few weeks old), I don't really recall
which I installed first - IIS or VS 2002. I gather this makes a
difference. Let's assume I did it in the "wrong" order. I think IIS came
first, but am not positive.

I am signed on to XP as an administrator with password.

Thanks, Ron

Peter,

I ran aspnet_regiis.exe" -i earlier to no avail. It actually took care
of a previous error, but now I have the access denied error. You
mentioned earlier about the sequence I installed IIS and VS. It seems I
read somewhere about reinstalling the .net framework. Is that a viable
option? Or were you thinking about something concerning the order I
installed them?

Could a reinstall help or would I just be spinning my wheels?

Thanks,
Ron

My concern was the possibility that you had installed Visual Studio before
installing IIS, hence the reference to #306005.
Reinstalling the .NET Framework is another way to remap to IIS. I don't know
if it will help you, but it's worth a try.

Finally! I have spent days on this, but finally found the solution in KB
article 821255.

Although it seems geared towards Win2K, it resolved the issue using XP
Pro.

Thanks for all your help!
