I have CruiseControl.Net setup as my continuous integration environment. I've been working on adding a Visual Studio 2008 Web Deployment Project to my solution but I'm getting a weird "access denied" error and I can't figure out why.
I have CC.Net running under its own account on my server which is a member of the administrators group, so the CC.Net service should have access to everything it needs. The problem is when I trigger a build from the web interface the build fails with the error:
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\WebDeployment\v9.0\Microsoft.WebDeployment.targets(667,5): error : Access is denied.
The particular task on that line is the "CreateVirtualDirectory" task to create an IIS virtual directory for my asp.net application.
What's weird is if I open a command prompt on my build server running as the exact same user account the CruiseControl service is running as and run my build script everything builds successfully - including the creation of the IIS virtual directory. It's only when a build is initiated through the web interface that it fails.
I don't understand what the difference is between the two since presumably they are both running as the same user with the same privileges.
Suggestions?
