The &quot;aspnet_regiis -i&quot; command seems to do the trick, from what I've read, but you might want to read up a bit on that command before executing it. &nbsp;It does lots of other things, apparently, and can cause problems in a production environment.<br />

What I had to do was uninstall, delete the ASP.NET user and then reinstall. &nbsp;It came out ok and didn't wreck the asp.net 1.147 underneath and seems to have worked ok.

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
