.net fails on every single assembly

I am pulling my hair out here and hope someone can help me. I must
have installed an update or something, but .net just doesn't work
right. I get a 7a097706 error on EVERY assembly - CASPOL included, so
I'm sure it's not programmer error for my .net software. This is for
2.0 - I am at SP2.

I think it must be security related, as for _some_ of the programs, if
I run as... and select my OWN user name (the one I'm logged in as) and
put in my password and the program will work. Other programs might do
this, but I get the error on install where the (presumably .net based)
program is trying to register the new assemblies, so I can't even test
the alternate login theory because the program won't install.

My machine doesn't belong to a domain. I know there is a hotfix to
deal with these issues where you have no profile associated with the
user, but that hotfix didn't solve the problem.

Note that I am logging in and installing as an adminstrator rights
user, but NOT Administrator.

Any ideas? I'm pulling my hair out here, and the inability to run
these programs is killing my productivity on this machine.

Thanks,
Michael Risch

Can you create and run within visual studio, a console application that
writes "Hello, world", to the output?

Thanks for the response.

No idea - I don't have VS installed - this is all runtime. If you give
me a bit of code and the command I should type for the command line
compiler, I can give it a shot.

The failure is always at mscorwks.dll, offset 000b8674. That error is
preceded by the 7a097706 80131506 error in .net runtime.

Note also that I have done a full uninstall and reinstall about 10
times - unless there are registry entries I'm not finding, this is not
fixing it.

I do get a warning on the install that iis is not installed, so that
updates to the iis metabase were not made.

Problem solved - and it was a crazy one. I am reporting here so that
others might find this and avoid my headaches. The problem is that
Symantec Endpoint 11 conflicts with Wave Embassy Trust Suite's
wxvault.dll (an older version). To solve the problem, you must
either: a) upgrade to the latest Wave version or b) remove wxvault.dll
from the app load path (by deleting the AppInit_DLLs key that has it
and rebooting)

There's a support knowledge base entry on this at Symantec's web site.
