aspnet_wp.exe could not be started. The error code for the failure is 80004005. 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.
Although I used to be able to find the answer to this, I can't today. Has something to do with running aspnet regiis command. What is the command I am looking for?
This sounds like a NTFS permission issue. I don't think aspnet_regiis can change NTFS permission.
I would check the identity of the application pool and make sure the user there have permission to access c:\windows directory. This is a really loose permission setting but this can at least help you pin point the problem.
It turned out to be a file called RSReportServer.config had some security restrictions on it. Just that one file. The others in the same directory were fine. Logged in as an admin and lowered the security to user level. Now everything works fine.
I was getting this error in the application event log, and at the same time I was getting an error msg in Security Log -
Logon Failure:
Reason: The specified account's password has expired
User Name: ASPNET
I checked the ASPNET user on my localmachine and it somehow had User has to change password on next logon, I unchecked it and checked "Password Never Expires".
I kept getting the same error, but when I ran aspnet_regiis -u and aspnet_regiis -i, everything worked fine. You may have to bounce IIS service after doing this.
