Michael thanks for the help.
OK I have finally gotten the Problem fixed. I'll share this with everyone so if it happens to you.
I was not able to access or run web pages I had developed under .NET 2002.
I kept getting a number of errors saying the server was not accessible or Internal Server Error. Most of the time if you go to the event viewer you will see an error message...
aspnet_wp.exe could not be started. The error code for the failure is 80004005. This error can be caused when the worker process account has insufficient rights to read the .NET Framework files. Please ensure that the .NET Framework is correctly installed and that the ACLs on the installation directory allow access to the configured account
It will happen if,...
Your development machine is an XP Pro (some have said that they have gotten the problem on Windows 2000 and Windows server 2003)
You have installed .NET Framework 2003
You have installed IIS V5.1
You have installed ASP.NET V1.1 or V1.
You have applied the patch MS03-32 Security Update for Internet Explorer security patc
According to MS it can only happen with ASP.NET V1.0 and it can not happen ASP.NET V1.1...bull pat-too-ie
According to MS…
The symptom of this issue is that after installing the patch, all requests to ASP.NET result in an error message saying "Server Application Unavailable".
This issue only impacts installations running ASP.NET V1.0 on Windows XP Professional. It does not impact machines running Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003. It also does not impact machines running Windows XP with ASP.NET v1.1 installed.
We are working hard on a permanent solution for this issue. In the meantime, you can visit this page to learn about the problem as well as a safe workaround you can apply immediately to fix the issue:
http://www.asp.net/faq/ms03-32-issue.asp
If you run the patch on a machine with ASP.NET V1.0, it works fine. It corrects the defect.
It, however, will not run on a machine with ASP.NET V1.1.
In the downloaded batch file "fixup" - make the following changes
REM if exist %SystemRoot%\microsoft.net\framework\v1.1.4322\msc orlib.dll goto v11_installed
REM "Changing to the Framework install directory"
cd /d %SystemRoot%\microsoft.net\framework\v1.1.4322
and then run it again. This should fix the issue
It works. I can now access and create ASP.NET projects without problems
Hope this helps some one so they do not lose 3 days like I did
If anyone wants me too I'll copy the whole modified batch file text here for you to look at.
