Class 'CLSID_CorSymWriter' could not be created: Access is denied.

Question

i keep getting this error. not sure what it is. this is what i have done so far. am working on VISTA and have IIS7. i created a new site and have a directory with my aspx files attached to it. then i converted one of the subfolders to an application. But for some reason when i try to turn on that application (right click browse) i get the following error -

Class 'CLSID_CorSymWriter' could not be created: Access is denied.

why is access denied. this application works on parent system but not here. so i know its some permission issue or some component i havent installed yet.

any advice?

Not encountered this error before, but an Internet search led to someone on another (hyphenated) web site suggesting the following:

From a command prompt, change directory to C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322 (or whichever version) and then enter two commands:

1. regsvr32.exe diasymreader.dll
2. regsvr32.exe mscordbi.dll
