ASPNET_SETREG runs on XP, not 2000

I have a webservice up and running locally on my dev machine (XP) using
impersonate like so:

Line 5: <identity impersonate="tr ue"
Line 6:
userName="regis try:HKLM\SOFTWA RE\Security\ide ntity\ASPNET_SE TREG,userName"
Line 7:
password="regis try:HKLM\SOFTWA RE\Security\ide ntity\ASPNET_SE TREG,password"/>

The webservice comes up fine on there, but when I moved it to a server
running 2000, I get this error :
Parser Error Message: Error reading the password from the registry.

I have read several articles, and tried many things, including granting
EVERYONE read access as a test, and I still get this error. What am I doing
wrong here?

I ran ASPNET_SETREG.e xe on the server, saw the registry entry, granted
ASPNET read access (later giving it to EVERYONE), but nothing seems to work.

Thanks in advance for any help.

We are having some problems with invalid characters in passwords when using aspnet_setreg. Aspnet_setreg seems to generate the registry keys successfully, but then the asp.net application using the username/password encrypted with aspnet_setreg won't start properly because of a problem with the password. For information, we have a utility that generates strong passwords for us. The passwords could contain most of the special...

I am using aspnet_setreg but the permissions that it sets the registry to leave the application unable to access the information. I want to add the ASPNET account on the machine that our application is being installed on with read privilege automatically. Does anyone know of a way to easily set registry permissions? I would prefer to use .NET (C#) but I can always wrap any code that does this. I am suspecting that this will involve C++ or...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
