Perhaps its not necessary to reinstall the whole operating system.
According to the error messages, there is a problem with the .net
environment.
I would try to reinstall the .Net platform first.

Hi Simon,

I had the same problem several times before. I think sometimes I managed
to 
resolve the problem by restarting IIS. Most other times, I had to
resintall 
the entire operating system (Win 2k Adv Server).

Yes, I had aspnet.exe access violation. Yes, we had "Server application 
unavailable"...

Unfortunately, I have no clue as to why this happens. We too uses SYSTEM
in 
machine.config and the development server is NOT a domain controller.

Search on google is a waste of time - there's not a lot of information
in 
this regard. Of course, until there's a fix, you probably won't be able
find 
the problem on MSDN.

If you have any lead on this problem, please let me know... Anyway, VS
2003 
will be out soon - hope they dont have the same problem in the new
release.

Norman

Yep, you're right. Visual studio.net is not .Net Framework
And since all the lines in the stack trace refer to the .Net
Framework.....
Its only my 2 cents..

We seem to have found a way to stop the error, but we don't understand why.

All the web pages use a custom control to display a standard header. 
Simply putting this custom control DLL into the GAC prevents the error 
from happening.

Why should this be? After all, when the web pages do work, they display 
this custom control successfully.

Sorry, what's GAC?

The Global Assembly Cache.

Basically a cache where you can store assemblies (.dll's) that are
accessible to selected .net applications on the machine.

Hi,
 If you intend to share an assembly among several applications, you can
install it into the global assembly cache. Each computer where the common
language runtime is installed has this machine-wide code cache. The global
assembly cache stores assemblies specifically designated to be shared by
several applications on the computer. An assembly must have a strong name to
be installed in the global assembly cache.

 Naveen Nayak

Hi,
 If you intend to share an assembly among several applications, you can
install it into the global assembly cache. Each computer where the common
language runtime is installed has this machine-wide code cache. The global
assembly cache stores assemblies specifically designated to be shared by
several applications on the computer. An assembly must have a strong name to
be installed in the global assembly cache.

 Naveen Nayak

Hi Roh,

A strong name consists of the assembly's identity - its simple text name,
version number, and culture information (if provided) - plus a public key
and a digital signature. The public/private key pair, used to create the
digital signature, may be stored in a file or in a container in the
Cryptographic Service Provider (CSP). The Strong Name Tool (Sn.exe) creates
the file or container. The file name is specified by the user when running
the tool and that same name is used in this property.


Regards,
 Naveen Nayak
