Failed to access IIS metabase ASP.NET

Failed To Access IIS Metabase Error In ASP.NET, If You are getting "Failed to access IIS metabase" error while browsing asp.net site or aspx page in IIS server then you may have installed IIS Server after installing the .NET framework.

If that's the case, try running to repair your ASP.NET installation and set up all of the appropriate ISAPI extension mappings.

Open visual studio command prompt and type this command

aspnet_regiis -ga \username
username is usually aspnet


if this doesn't work than use this command
aspnet_regiis -i

alternatively you can copy and paste this command into windows command prompt

%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -i

this will fix your problem

I CURSE the person who wrote the error message that comes with this error directing you to go to the most UNHELPFUL "knowledge base" article there ever could be. And I wish the person who wrote THAT dies in his own vomit.
