Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework

________________________________________________________

Solution:
For my case, the reason hit above error is because.NET Framework was installed before IIS server. To solve the problem, register .NET framework to IIS will do.

How to do that? (please be aware that the sample using for.NET Framework V1.0)

Steps:

1. Click on Start -> Run






2. Type in cmd and click OK





3. Command prompt screen will appear. go to"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\
v2.0.50727" folder by using command cd C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 and hit enter. Please refer screen below:





4. Type in
aspnet_regiis -i and hit enter.




5. Screen below will be shown and dotnet user installed.




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

Ping a port

Well, sometimes we need to know whether the port in open or block, we need to do some checking or troubleshoot through ping/telnet. We cannot ping a IP with port but we can telnet certain IP together with Port no.

For example:
Go to open command prompt, if we want to check whether port 21 is working for IP 203.166.87.9 what we need to do is
> telnet 203.166.87.9 21

please tell me it's work. thanks

Could not load file or assembly 'CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=10.5.3700.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304' or one of its dependenci

Deploy a web application that uses crystal report basic 10.5 and hit below error when try to access to the application.

"Could not load file or assembly 'CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=10.5.3700.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."

This is because we dont have crystal report basic runtime installed in the server.

Where do I get the basic (10.5) runtime? It's on your machine:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\CrystalReports10_5

My server is a 32 bit machine, so i install CRRedist2008_x86.msi in the machine.

Now what? I still can the same error? Wait, we need to restart the IIS to make it work. After restart the IIS, it's work perfectly.

STOP: c000021a (Fatal System error) The windows subsystem system process terminated unexpectedly with a status 0xc0000005

I hit below error/blue screen when trying to install MSSQL 2005 Express in a Microsoft XP pro SP2 machine:

STOP: c000021a (Fatal System error)
The windows subsystem system process terminated unexpectedly with a status 0xc0000005 (0x7c9106c3 0x0053ec24)

Try for 3 times to reinstall windows and no luck. Hit the same error when installing MSSQL 2005 Express.

Finally found an forum
http://blogs.msdn.com/petersad/archive/2009/01/20/sql-server-2005-sp3-sql-server-2005-sp2-cus-or-sql-server-2008-may-cause-xp-sp2-to-restart.aspx

And hotfix in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943232

We have to register our email and the hotfix link come with password with send to our email.

After apply both hotfix. My problem solved.

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.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\xxx\aa.xml' is denied.

ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request identity. ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically {MACHINE}\ASPNET on IIS 5 or Network Service on IIS 6) that is used if the application is not impersonating. If the application is impersonating via , the identity will be the anonymous user (typically IUSR_MACHINENAME) or the authenticated request user.

To grant ASP.NET access to a file, right-click the file in Explorer, choose "Properties" and select the Security tab. Click "Add" to add the appropriate user or group. Highlight the ASP.NET account, and check the boxes for the desired access.

Hit above error when trying to write a xml file in the web server. I've tried to set write permission for both internet guest user & also ASP.NET user but still the same.

Finally, i add into web.config and the problem solve.
<identity impersonate="true"/>

<configuration>
<system.web>
<identity impersonate="true"/>
</system.web>
