It's in %WINDIR%\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v1.0.3705\ As too the error....I *believe* that if you reinstall asp.net (from the directory above, run aspnet_regiis -i) it'll reinstall the ASPNET user, which may fix the issue, unless the machine is a Windows 2000 domain controller, in which case, this article may be what you need.

Hi, we've just tried installing 1.1 on a domain controller and are getting this problem despite it stating in the article that this bug has been fixed for 1.1. Does anyone know of any additional info regarding this? Thanks.

Hi,

I searched a lot on the internet when I faced the same issue but could not get any clean solution which did not require changing the machine.config file etc.

However, luckily, I looked into the properties of ASPNET account and found it to be locked (it was working well before we did a restart of the server). IIS server was 5.1 running on XP with SP 2.

Here is the solution -

1. Right click "My Computer" and select "Manage".

2. Expand the "Local Users and Groups" inside "System Tools" node.

3. Within "Users" folder, right click "ASPNET" and select "Properties".

4. In the "General" tab, uncheck "Account is locked out" and "Account is disabled".

5. Restart the IIS. Worker Process should be launched now without any issue.

In my case, the issue was because of the account getting locked. Please look for the account under which your application is running as it might be different for different applications as well as IIS version.

Hope it helps others in identifying the cause of this issue.

I am not sure of why "Account is locked out" got checked without me doing anything.

However unchecking this option and restarting IIS resolved my Issue.

Thanks for sharing this information.

If you did not do anything and the "Account is locked out" got checked, it probably will got unchecked without you having to do anything
