So yesterday I got a new machine at work. I decided to only install SQL Server 2008 and Visual Studio 2008 on this box. First I installed Visual Studio 2008, after that I installed Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 and then I installed SQL Server 2008. I still remember when I tried to install SQL Server 2008 RTM on my older machine with Visual Studio 2008 and it wouldn’t do it because you needed SP1 for the framework first, this got released 2 days later or so.
So then I noticed that IIS was not installed on this box, of course you need the CD/DVD to add components to the Operating System. I went to MSDN, downloaded the Operating System, installed IIS and thought I was in business.
Do you see the problem yet?
I loaded up the website that runs on my machine and got the following message
Failed to access IIS metabase
Failed to access IIS metabase? What is that? Since I am lucky that I work with this Ukranian ASP.NET expert he told me to paste the following into the Run command from the Start menu
%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -i
The version (v2.0.50727) might be different on your machine, it worked like a charm on mine.

In addition to English, Denis is also fluent in Croatian and Dutch, but he can curse in many other languages and dialects (just ask the SQL optimizer) He lives in Princeton, NJ with his wife and three kids.
