Server Application Unavailable - 1.1.4322 - access - machine.config

I have a new workstation (xp pro sp2) that I am having trouble with.

When I try to open an ASPX page on the localhost I get the following error:
Server Application Unavailable.
It refers me to the application event log for more info. There, I find two errors:

aspnet_wp.exe could not be launched because the username and/or password supplied in the processModel section of the config file are invalid.

and

aspnet_wp.exe could not be started. The error code for the failure is 800700CB. 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.

This was after other errors resulting from the ASPNET user not being on the machine [I added it using the user password I found in an article in MSDN].

I've "repaired" my installation of VS.net Enterprise Architect 2003. I've re-installed 1.1, 1.1 sp1 and the security hotfix.

I can create and build new web applications. I can open and build web applications I copied from my old workstation [had to use IIS to "create" each as an application]. However, I can not open them in IE or the VS internal browser.

Thanks in advance,

Billy Hildebrand

Learned that problem was caused by bad VS.NET installation [pre-requisites not met. i.e. IIS not installed first].

I uninstalled VS.NET (and frameworks). Installed pre-requisites (IIS, frameworks) and re-installed VS.NET.

I have since learned this may have been the long way around and I might have used the aspnet_regiis.exe utility instead.

Anyways, I'm up and codin' again.

Thanks for your time!
