The problem was ownership and permissions on the aspnet_client directory under $IIS_HOME/wwwroot. Though I was logged in as an administrator, the $IIS_HOME/wwwroot directory was not owned or writeable by me. When aspnet_regiis -c fails to copy files because of this, it dissappointingly supplies a uselessly vague and practically incorrect error message. My solution was to take ownershiP of $IIS_HOME/wwwroot and its subdirs, make them writeable, then re-run the script. Your results might vary

Just an FYI for others who run into this problem (I know there are others because I've seen them in Google)

Hello

When I try to copy the ASP.NET client side script files to the aspnet_client subdir of each IIS site using this comman

aspnet_regiis -

on a Windows 2000 Professional machine w/ .NET Framework 1.1 installed, logged on with a local Administrator account, I always get this erro

An error has occurred (0x80070005)
You must have administrative rights on this machine in order to run this tool

Again, I am logged into the machine under an account that is in the local "Administrators" group. I even ran the same command while logged in under the actual local "Administrator" username, yet still got the same error

I ran the command successfully on other similarly configured machines

What's going on

Thanks
