I get the following error when running my Visual Studio 2008 ASP.NET project (start without Debugging) on my XP Professional box:
System.Web.HttpException: The current identity (machinename\ASPNET) does not have write access to 'C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files'.
How can I resolve this?
Have you tried, the aspnet_regiis exe in the framework folder?
I had the same problem. This is what I did:
- Go to c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.50727
- right click on "Temporary ASP.NET files"
- Security tab
- Select "Users(xxxxxx\Users) from Group
- check "Write"
- OK
Either grant that user the level of access to that directory, or change the identity that the application's application pool runs under - in IIS Manager, determine what App Pool is used to run your application, then in the App Pool section of IIS Manager, look at the properties for that pool - the tab you want is "Identity" I think (this is off the top of my head).
You can set it to another user account - for example, Crystal Reports .Net requires update and delete access to C:\Temp - so we have a "webmaster" user, with administrator access, and use that identity for those applications.
you can right click the Visual Studio & select run as administrator.
You can try to fix it using the automated regiis utility aspnet_regiis.ext available in c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.50727
Otherwise just manually add the needed file permissions as noted in the error.
I had this problem when trying to build a Web Deployment Project (*.wdploy).
Simply creating the folder on the framework path solved the error.
Make sure the ASPNET user has permission to write to that folder. Right click on the folder, Properties, Security tab.
