I installed Web Tools, IIS, .net 2.0 and Microsoft SQL Studio Management Studio 2005 on Windows XP virtual machine. When I try to access localhost/B1WebTools I get this error:
Failed to access IIS metabase.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironmentException: Failed to access IIS metabase.
The process account used to run ASP.NET must have read access to the IIS metabase (e.g. IIS://servername/W3SVC). For information on modifying metabase permissions, please see http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=267904.
I clicked through the support link and ran Metaacl.vbs which went through a series of window prompts, but didn't do much in helping the problem.
If I try to manage my computer and click through to "Services and Applications" I get the error that "MMC has detected an error in snap-in. IT is recommended that you shut down and restart MMC" I don't know how to do this.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
