Installing SQL 2005 and missing ASPNET account
Question
I am installing SQL 2005 developers version on my laptop. That laptop is part of a domain and has XP w/ SP2. During installtion I get an error: "SQL Server Setup failed to obtain system account information for the ASPNET account. To proceed, reinstall the .NET framework, and then run SQL Server Setup again."
I don't see a user called ASPNET as a local user on my machine. Under Add/Remove Programs, Framework 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0 are installed. I suspect the ASPNET account was removed for security reasons. What steps do I take next?
Answer
Open up Command Prompt and go to
"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322" folder and run
"aspnet_regiis -i" command.
This will create the necessary account and you'll be able to install your
SQL Server 2005 DE.
