2008

A few days into the new year, a sleeping sick baby and an offline HQ—I found a few moments of peace.

So here's a piece of advice: When trouble brews, be calm and proceed to the nearest exit, brew a cup of hot cocoa, lounge, and read.

If your trouble is specifically of the message:

"The current identity (NT AUTHORITY NETWORK SERVICE) does not have write access to 'C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\V2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files'. This error may be cause by having installed visual studio C# or by group policy settings."

Please, oh please don't manually assign the permission to the folder through the folder property; you should instead run the following from a command prompt to wish your trouble away:

prompt:>c:
prompt:>cd \windows\micro*\frame*\v2.0*\
prompt:>aspnet_regiis -i -enable

Happy New Year!
