First time in the .net area for me. I have a good understanding of Classic ASP and all related aspects.

I have purchased a wysiwyg HTML editor for the purposes of a savvy little spell checker that has no cliet dependencies from http://cutesoft.net (CuteSoft for ASP ver 4.1) A very good tool. The netSpell (written entirely in c#) feature requires the .net framework, I installed this locally and it works like a dream (XP Pro)

The production server is a 2k box. When I execute the spell checker I am experiencing the following application errors:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: ASP.NET 1.1.4322.0
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1084
Date: 8/25/2005
Time: 3:21:17 PM
User: N/A
Computer: KUTRIS02
Description:
aspnet_wp.exe could not be started. The error code for the failure is 80070545. 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.

What are ACL's?
Is the aspnet_wp.exe talked about specific to this software?
Does anybody have a suggestion how I may resolve this issue?

FYI this server is in a defence restricted network - not real easy for me to just uninstall and re install the framework (is a possibility) I do have direct administrative access via Dameware. I get the same behaviours using the browser on the box its self via dameware and remotley from elsewhere in the network.

Looking forward to a dot neters reply.

ACL is Access Control List. It has to do with security.

aspnet_wp is the ASP.NET worker process that runs inside/from IIS to service ASP.NET requests on the server.

It sounds like the application is trying to talk to the ASP.NET worker process. I'm not familiar with this application so I can't tell you much more than this.

Peter (LOL - nice domain name)

Thank you for your time. I have found the following MS article:

http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;811320

But have not had a chance to get into 'fort knox' so I can get directly on the server to execute the suggestions. The article calls the suggestions a work around, mmmm would prefer a fix.

Q. If I can Dameware to the server would this mean any possible network related permissions are eliminated? I am getting the same behaviours from a remote location in the network as I am via Dameware using the browser on the server.

I installed the framwork on my local machine. No work around was neccessary, everything just worked. Is this the difference between my local XP Pro and the Servers 2k platform? I have not read anywhere a framework and 1.1 install is different in a XP Vs 2k environment. Is this the case?

Anyone else out there seen these behaviours?

TYIA and have a fine day...

BTW : My Dameware account is administrative

I have executed the suggested MS solution/workaround. This did not fix my problem, there is no chnage in the behaviours described above. Would appreciate an experienced .net ers time on this one very much.

I have given the IUSR and the ASP.NET (not sure if I was supposed to do it for both users) full control over the locations suggested in the article. When I run:

cacls c:\assembly /e /t /p [serverName]\IUSR_[serverName]:R

in a command prompt for the IUSR it executed however when I run the same command for the ASP.NET account:

cacls c:\assembly /e /t /p [serverName]\ASP.NET_[serverName]:R

I got the following text displayed:

"No mapping between account names and security IDs was done"

What does this mean? How can I map these? Is this why I still have my problem? I am very stuck on this one, anybody got time to assist?
