| My IIS was working perfectly. I had installed Visual Studio.NET 2003
Enterprise Architect for my work/project that am working on. I like to use
Visual Studio to develop my ASP web application and for debugging purposes
too.
Then one day my web server doesn't function properly anymore. Am not sure
whether it's VS.NET2003 fault, or because I just installed TortoiseSVN.
During the TortoiseSVN installation/setup there's an option for ASP.NET
hack, "tick if you develop .NET web applications".
I uninstalled TortoiseSVN but still doesn't help. My IIS seems to be working
fine, however I can't display any of my pages. It WAS working before and I
knew the setup/settings to get my pages to display.
Help, does someone know why this is happening?
I even tried the Configuration/Backup feature in IIS. It just freezes and
crashes. My IIS is truely buggered up.
Help!

Is there some ISAPI dll or extension (like .asp is an extension as well)
loaded in IIS?
It might not be new that such extension is not uninstalled because of a
setup issue.

I can't tell you why your IIS is buggered, but I suspect the 3rd party
product.
To fix it, uninstall IIS then reinstall. To restore the VS 2003 mappings to
IIS, follow the instructions in KB Article 305006:

TortoiseSVN shouldn't cause your problems. Subversion VS .NET hack only
causes to use _svn instead of .svn folders. See
http://tortoisesvn.sourceforge.net/node/15 for more info.
It doesn't touch IIS at all.

| I found out that if I remove C:\Document & Settings\ folder - when one wants
to reset their settings back to default, etc. then IIS won't start. Usually
you can delete everything in Document & Settings folder and Windows 2000/XP
will recreate necessary files. Usually the Temp folder contained here is
filled with junk/spyware, etc.
Anyone know the precise causes why IIS will not start on a reboot after the
Document & Settings folder is cleaned out?

huh? Are you seriously thinking that destroying that important folder would
not harm?
Just to mention.
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto
contains important cryptogaphy settings, that also apply to to SYSTEM
services (and not only to users).
Just remember, that to fight spam and spyware, just do not expose your
system to sites that expose them and apply software and policies that keep
your system free from rubbish.
If you seriously use IIS, handle your computer/server as if it had no
browser and then you would leave IIS in happy state.

| Yes. I been playing about with my C:\Documents and Settings\ folder.
Everytime I mention this folder somehow everybody goes quiet, as to say that
am a fool to even touch this folder.
Basically I did a complete fresh installation on my laptop to see what files
are created doing stages of installation (by making a folder copy at each
stage and then using folder comparision tools):
Byte sizes of "Documents and Settings" folder:
649,800 - After Win2KSP4 clean installation, default components, no IIS.
736,203 - After installing full IIS components.
148,440,886 - After installing VC#.NET2002.
This is without any internet access so no cached webpages, etc.
Now, during a PC windows life-time, the Documents and Settings folder
increases to over 500-600MB. That's crazy.
I realised that the important IIS folders are the:
CLR Security Config
Credentials
CryptnetUrlCache
Crypto
which are held in Application Data, and Local Settings\Application Data. I
believe that it's the All Users folder which is the most important and must
have the ntuser.pol file.
The rest I just delete and windows regenerate them whenever they are needed.
As for Visual Studio files, it just requests for the installation CD. So IIS
is fine now.

The 'All Users' folder, is 900 MB with me.
Take my advise, minimizing the harddisk, is an obsession for some people :).
But it's not really usefull. However, I tend to delete some files,
sometimes, those patches and WSUS (windows update) also stores all downloads
forever. A total whopping 500MB soon, if you don't do nothing. But it really
does not matter for performance.

Nice, did you make that name up? WUS. Windows Update System.
