Unable to debug ASP .NET 1.0 Application

Question

When I try to debug a web site in .NET 1.0, I get the following error "Error while trying to run project: Unable to start debugging on the web server. Could not read key from registry"

I was not able to find any documentation on this particular error for not not being able to read the key from registry.

I did look at Microsoft KB For This, but, it does not have anything for the registry read error.

EDIT: I found a work around for this. Add the username that aspnet_wp.exe is running under to the Administartors group on your PC. This is a very bad thing because it exposes a security hole on your machine. But, it is still not clear what "other" rights does this account need in order to "read key from registry."

Answer 1

Consider running the RegMon from SysInternals. It should show your which registry keys get denied.
