ASPNET Account Permission Check

ASPNET Account Permission Check

Checks that the ASP.NET account has permission to access necessary directories as well as impersonation privileges. To run ASP.NET Application and Web services, the ASP.NET account requires special permissions. The following Access Control Lists (ACLs) are required for the ASP.NET account. The default installation of the Microsoft .NET Framework includes these ACLs:

Location	Permission
%installroot%\Temporary ASP.NET Files	Read/Write and List Folder Contents
%windir%\temp	Read/Write
Web site root	Read
%installroot% hierarchy	Read
%driveroot%\Program Files	Read
%windir%\assembly	Read

Solution 1

Remove and then re-install the Microsoft .NET Framework.

2. In the Control Panel, double-click Add or Remove Programs.
   
3. In the Add or Remove Programs dialog, select Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1.
4. Click Change/Remove.
5. You are prompted to verify removing the Microsoft .NET Framework. Click Yes. Once the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 is removed, continue with the installation. The .NET Framework will be automatically re-installed.
