Server Unavailable

Hi, I've encountered a problem when installing the .Net framework
version 1.0 on a Windows 2000 Server machine in a clustered
environment. After I install the framework and try to run a simple
ASP.Net web page I receive the following message in my web browser:

"Server Application Unavailable
The web application you are attempting to access on this web server is
currently unavailable. Please hit the "Refresh" button in your web
browser to retry your request.

Administrator Note: An error message detailing the cause of this
specific request failure can be found in the system event log of the
web server. Please review this log entry to discover what caused this
error to occur."

When I check the event log it shows the following system error:

"Access denied attempting to launch a DCOM Server. The server is:
{000C101C-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
The user is ASPNET/AGSESDWEB1,
SID=S-1-5-21-1060284298-1563985344-725345543-1011. "

I've looked around in the newsgroups and on the web and although
others have encountered the same error, no one seems to have a
straight answer or explanation except for it has to do with
permissions. Unfortunately the MSDN web site has little information on
this problem. It does have a fix for Windows XP, but not for Windows
2000 Server.

Can someone please explain what is causing this problem and exactly
how to rectify it. Any help is appreciated.

Also, please don't tell me to install version 1.1 of the .Net
framework as it has to be version 1.0

Thanks in Advance,

Hi David,

Are you accessing any COM components from your code? Does a simple
HelloWorld.aspx page work?

If not the problem is most likely that one of the ASP.Net components doesn't
have rights although unless you've mucked iwth permissions or renamed
accounts this should nto be an issue.

The DCOM issue means that whatever server this ID points to needs to have
Launch and Access rights for the ASP.Net account. You can search the
registry for the class id to find out what the server is (don't you love how
useful those messages are - it would surely help to have a progid).

Rick, I searched the registry and it appears the offending server is
called the MSIServer (Microsoft Installer?). I'm not quite sure what
to do next to give this server Launch and Access rights to the ASP.Net
account. Can you help?

Sounds like the system is trying to install something. Does this happen on a
simple ASPX page or only on one that you're doing something with custom
components?

I would try reinstalling the .Net framework or run fix from the Add Programs
option if it happens on a simple page.
