Seems like an internal ASP.NET error. Possible reasons I could see are
a) corrupted IIS, ASP.NET or .NET2 installation
b) some unusual settings on your server
c) platform incompatibility

Tks Sohaib,

it worked! I removed my IIS, VS .Net and .Net Framework installation and re-installed after in this order:

IIS
VS .Net
and at least .Net Framework

And so that the AbleCommerce worked in my server.

Tks very much!

Regards,

Leo.

The order does matter some times for example you if you have already installed .NET Framework and then you install the IIS. In this case ASP.NET will not get registered with IIS. There is a utility tool available with Visual Studio which can do this registration job for you, its name is aspnet_regiis.exe. For run the Visual Studio Command Prompt through the VS Tools and then using the command prompt navigate to the following directory

Code: Select all

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\

and run the exe as below

Code: Select all

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -i

where -i means to register asp.net with IIS. You can use -u switch to uninstall the ASP.NET as well.

Tks folks!

It works very well!

See ya!

I was able to repair the installation of .NET 3.5 Framework in the Add/Remove Programs to get past the "Failed to access IIS metabase." error message.
