Failed to access IIS metabase while installing dotnetnuke

Probable Cause -

You usually get this error when the framework 2.0 for some reason has not installed correctly as a result of which ASPNET user does not have sufficient access rights on the IIS metabase.

Solution -

1. Click start->Run
2. Enter text “cmd” and click the OK button
3. Above mentioned steps opens up the command prompt. Navigate to the framework 2.0 folder which will be at the “c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727″ location
4. At the prompt enter “aspnet_regiis -i” this option will install the framework 2.0 as the current version and update the scriptmaps at the IIS metabase root and for all the scripts below the root.

That’s it you are all set !
