Failed to access IIS metabase
Ok, I’m a Java developer; it’s been a long time since I’ve been inside the inner workings of IIS and .NET (where my development career started). While I am still a very dedicated Java developer, the company I am working for is integrating a third party .NET solution into our product stack. So, I’ve jumped back into the world of .NET.
I knew from the start that I had the .NET 2.x framework on my machine already, which was a plus. I also knew that I had to install IIS because the solution is web based. So that was easy enough.
I installed the solution, configured it according to the documentation, and attempted to run it through a browser. <BAM>”Failed to access IIS metabase.” error was triggered. Digging way back into the recesses of my memory, I did recall something about this (something about running a command), but again my memory is slightly outdated. Thankfully having full access to the internet provided me the solution.
c:\<path to .NET Framework version root>\aspnet_regiis -i
