ASPNET user not created after the microsoft framework installation

Recently I ran into a problem where I had to format my machine and then get VS 2008 and SQL Server 2005 installed on my machine all over again. The installation went through fine but for some reason while installing DNN I was unable to find aspnet user (I needed it to give appropriate permissions to the DNN install folder). I am sure you guys might sooner or later run into the same problem.

The solution is really very simple. Just browse to the framework 2.0 folder and reset framework 2.0 as the currently installed framework by using aspnet_regiis -i

That’s it, Now try to find the user and you should be able to find it and set appropriate permissions on the DNN install folder.
