Cannot install due to IIS error

I am running XP HOME SP2, with IIS 5.0, SQL Server 2000, and cannot install due to the following error message:

[HostingEnvironmentException: Failed to access IIS metabase.]
   System.Web.Configuration.MetabaseServerConfig.MapPathCaching(String siteID, VirtualPath path) +3500394
   System.Web.Configuration.MetabaseServerConfig.System.Web.Configuration.IConfigMapPath.MapPath(String siteID, VirtualPath vpath) +9
   System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.MapPathActual(VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean permitNull) +163
   System.Web.CachedPathData.GetConfigPathData(String configPath) +382
   System.Web.CachedPathData.GetConfigPathData(String configPath) +243
   System.Web.CachedPathData.GetApplicationPathData() +68
   System.Web.CachedPathData.GetVirtualPathData(VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean permitPathsOutsideApp) +3393715
   System.Web.Configuration.RuntimeConfig.GetLKGRuntimeConfig(VirtualPath path) +189

Any suggestions?   I tried installing the metaacl script form Microsoft, but not sure what to add.  Thanks!

Re: Cannot install due to IIS error

Microsoft does not support the installation of IIS on Windows XP Home Edition although there are instructions on how to make it work floating around. I found this one that may help.

Re: Cannot install due to IIS error

I am having the same issue with Windows XP Pro.
I have done the following

Created a SQL db named bugnet
Unzipped BugNET-0.6.7-Install.zip to c:\bugnet
Created a virtual directory
Set the ASP.NET version to 2.0.50727 for the virtual directory
Browse to http://localhost/bugnet/install/installer.aspx

Then I get the following errors

Server Error in '/bugnet' Application.

Failed to access IIS metabase.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironmentException: Failed to access IIS metabase.

The process account used to run ASP.NET must have read access to the IIS metabase (e.g. IIS://servername/W3SVC). For information on modifying metabase permissions, please see http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=267904.

Re: Cannot install due to IIS error

I haven't seen this before but maybe reinstall the .net framework ... or run the aspnet_regiis tool.

Are you running asp.net under a different account than the default install?
