I just installed my ASP.NET app on a Win 2k server. I installed the files in
a folder on D: and setup a virtual directory in IIS Default web.

We had to install the Framework 1.1 and SP on this computer.When I attempt
to run this app I get the error mentioned above. I granted ASPNET access to
the folder on D: with Read & Execute, List Folder Contents and Read
permissions. The Direcory Security for this app is set as Anonymous access,
User name: ASPNET, Allow IIS to control password and Integrated Windows
authentication. The app itself uses Forms authenification.

This app runs fine on a Win 2003 server.

Here is the full error received when attempting to run from localhost on the
Win 2k box:

Access denied to 'c:\inetpub'. Failed to start monitoring file changes.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the

Dave:

A couple observations.  You set the permissions on the folder on D: but the
error message refers to c:\inetpub.

The following is a KB article referencing the same error number.  There are
related links at the bottom of this article.
