The process account used to run ASP.NET must have read access to the IIS metabase

hi all...

please help me in resolving this error..
i created a web service and i am not able to consume it in my app.
When i browse that page am gettin an ERROR as follows..


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 am assuring that code is error free, as its working in other PCs.
i doubt that its som prob with configuration, please guide me...

This is a common problem when IIS is installed after the framework. Usually fixed by running aspnet_regiis -i. HTH.
