Directory Name is Invalid - Repost

[Jeff Dillon]

This compiler problem is keeping us from rolling out any .NET applications.

When I browse to a simple .aspx page, I get the error:

Unable to create temp file in path
'c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\%SystemRoot%\TEMP\': The directory name is
invalid.

My TEMP variable is c:\windows\temp

My OS is Win2003 Server, Web Edition. Using Visual Studio, I created a one
page webform1.aspx page. When I browse to
http://localhost/compiletest/webform1.aspx as described in KB article #
#825791 I get the error. How do I fix this?

Have you tried giving the ASP.NET user account write permissions to the
c:\windows\temp folder?
