Hi, I am using Windows XP Pro and just installed IIS 5.1 on the machine. I created a new website under IIS and when I tried to debug it. I received the following error:

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 on the MS support link and got myself really confused. Can someone tell me what actually I need to modifyin order to run the site correctly?

Cheers,
Carl
 
Go to a Visual Studio Command Prompt and type
Code:
aspnet_regiis -ga <WindowsUserAccount>
where <WindowsUserAccount> is the account asp net applications run under (normally <machine name>\ASPNET)
