Error: 0x80070005 Access is denied

[Guest]

When I try to run an ASP.NET 2.0 application on my Windows 2000 SP4 computer
with IIS 5.0 installed, I receive the following message:

Failed to execute the request because the ASP.NET process identity does not
have read permissions to the global assembly cache. Error: 0x80070005 Access
is denied.

Why does it need access to the GAC?

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Why does it need access to the GAC?

That's where all the important runtime assemblies live, like
System.Web.dll.

Here is a list of ACLs the worker process identity will need:

You can adjust ACLs by right clicking on an object and going to the
Security tab (as an admin).
