WebDev.WebServer.exe crashes

[brent.adkisson]

I am trying to use the ads web starter kit with sql2000. I have
migrated the database and all of the .net membership tables to my
database. I can connect and see the data through the visual web
developer 2005 express. I can connect using the asp.net application
administration tool in the browser. I can add and manage users roles
and other permissions. When I user ctrl + F5 from the visual web
developer the default page starts to load and then I get the error
WebDev.WebServer.exe has encountered an error.
The system event viewer log says

The following exception was thrown by the web event provider
'EventLogProvider' in the application '/ads_final' (in an application
lifetime a maximum of one exception will be logged per provider
instance):

System.Web.HttpException: The EventLogWebEventProvider provider failed
to log an event with the error code 0x800705DE.
at
System.Web.Management.EventLogWebEventProvider.ProcessEvent(WebBaseEvent
eventRaised)
at System.Web.Management.WebBaseEvent.RaiseInternal(WebBaseEvent
eventRaised, ArrayList firingRuleInfos, Int32 index0, Int32 index1)

I have reinstalled visual web developer, iis and .net 2.0 repeatedly.
Nothing seems to work.
I also have the sql2005 express install also. I first saw this issue
when I installed the sql server manager express. I have tried to
uninstall it but this also does not help.

thanks for the help in advance.

Well I guess it pays to keep digging. I found that following the debug
I had my connection string containing values that were not supported.
This causes the web server to crash.

I hope this post helps someone.
