iis keeps going south on me

[TomGibbons]

I have this same problem on my work machine here. I'd posted it on the forums here a while ago (http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=301428) no solution though )

Tailz; I'd imagine he's having the same errors as I get, which you can find in my first post of my previous thread.

ok.

reinstalling it and it then working sounds bizarre. I'd think it was a security issue otherwise... still I'll ask this: Is the IIS / website located on an NTFS drive or on network/mapped drive?

I use ASP.NET on WinXP Service Pack 2 (and previously on 1) and had no problems so dont think its incompatibility with that.

I do know that are are supposed to install IIS and THEN install the .NET framework otherwise it makes a dog breakfast of it and nothing works. There is a repair command that Cander posted somewhere on the forums. Its one of those commands that every asp.net developer should know but cant remember lol.

found the info on repairing the framework (swiped from a microsoft page). dont know if this will solve anything but it fixed half my problems when I had "issues"

------------------------------------------------------
Was IIS installed on the local machine (the machine running Visual Studio .NET) after Visual Studio .NET was installed? IIS should be installed before Visual Studio .NET. If it was installed afterwards, you may need to repair the .NET Framework.
To repair the .NET Framework

Insert the Visual Studio .NET disc and run
<DVD Drive>:\wcu\dotNetFramework\dotnetfx.exe /t:c:\temp /c:"msiexec.exe /fvecms c:\temp\netfx.msi"
—or—

Insert the Visual Studio .NET Windows Component Update disc and run

<CD Drive>:\dotNetFramework\ dotnetfx.exe /t:c:\temp /c:"msiexec.exe /fvecms c:\temp\netfx.msi"
