I'm trying to debug some legacy asp.net 1.1 code. I have moved the app to my local machine to debug. When I try to load any aspx page I get the following error. -2147467259 (0x80004005)
That's all that's on the page. Anybody have a clue where I should start to fix this.
That looks like a COM error to me. It would help if you provided more detail about what you are doing when you get the error. Maybe post some code?
Usually where I see this is when connecting to a database. When you moved your application, did you change your database connection string(s) appropriately?
Also, when you set up IIS on your local server, did you check the necessary permissions?
Looks like an "Access is denied" error, if you look up that error code in Windows anyway, where I'd check to see that the "Temporary ASP.Net Files" are being generated and that the identity used to compile the code can read the source files.
0x80004005 is the COM error code E_FAIL "Unspecified error". So some COM method call failed.
Time to find a re-create and then use divide and conquer to find where this is happening.
It could easily be in non-managed code, so enable native debugging and check you have MS' symbol server configured.
You gotta love all these error messages with relatively vague text, tons of solutions already cropping up.
Research I dug into really quick indicated that something good have gone wacky with the .NET 2.0 Framework after getting the 1.1 stuff on your machine. They recommended to do a repair/reinstall of the 2.0 Framework and reboot the machine. That solved their woes.
Just go down the list and one of us will have the right answer. 8^D It doesn't help when MS sends you generic errors. 8^D
So it turned out to be a problem with the asp.net 1.1 install.
To debug it I created a new blank page and still got the error. Created a new application with a hello world type form same error.
Solution: "%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspnet_regiis.exe" -i
