ASP 'compilation error' and Windows Update

Winodows Server 2003.

WSUS is running, but I cannot open the console window. I believe it is related to repeated ASP errors in the event log:

Event Type:      Warning
Event Source:      ASP.NET 2.0.50727.0
Event Category:      Web Event
Event ID:      1310

Event code: 3007
Event message: A compilation error has occurred.
Exception message: (0): error CS0006: Metadata file 'C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC_32\System.EnterpriseServices\2.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a\System.EnterpriseServices.dll' could not be found

The reason that the dll cannot be found is that the directory does not exist in Windows\assembly. But, it is actually in C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_System.EnterpriseServices_b03f5f7f11d50a3a_2.0.0.0_x-ww_7d5f3790.

I have checked permissions for Network Service on Windows\Temp and the TEMP ASP.Net folders. Also tried aspiis_reset and uninstall/reinstall of IIS and WSUS. Could not uninstall .NET though....Ideas welcome!

thanks,
Jo

Manged to uninstall .net through control panel by removing 3.5,3 then 2. Also ran cleanup tool afterwards.

Just rebooting now after IIS install.....watch this space!
