Hi team,

I'm currently testing my ASP.NET 4 app on Win 7 x64, and it's unable to run. My installer registers the app by command-line, and after it is registered, the host process continually logs to the Windows Application Event Log the following error:

Log Name: Application

Same installer works perfect on XP 32bit and maybe also Vista 32bit, any thoughts? Please let me know if you need anything else from me for your diagnosis.

Best,

Thanks for the quick response.

Unfortunately, no dice. I granted Read & Execute to NETWORK SERVICE on 'C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Config', then uninstalled UltiDev, then installed UltiDev. Same error as original post.

By the way, the Web App Explorer says "Running" by "Monitoring Service" but when I try to browse the application, it says:

---

Are you sure?

---

UltiDev Web Server's windows service is not running.
Do you want to try accessing application anyway?

---

Yes No

---

I wanted to point out that although it's still true that the Monitoring Service is running, if I didn't know to look in the Windows Event Viewer, I'd be confused, as that error just says "UltiDev Web Server's windows service", not "UltiDev Web Server's windows service for this application". Just a suggestion.

Thanks

Redirector still works



but the .NET 4 shared host will not run



I granted NETWORK SERVICE full access to
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Config

then in order to kickstart it, instead of re-installing Ultidev again I moved it to a new host with the same parameters:
.NET 4
64-bit on 64-bit system
Network Service account

Note that I called the new host "ok". I noticed that caused this event to be logged:



After that, same Access Denied events as in original post were logged.

Alright, finally, regarding switching to a new host under Local System, several events were logged and then something crashed:

#1


#2


#3


#4


#5


And then UltiDev.WebServer.Monitor.exe crashed. I opened VS 2010 debugger for more detail:


Then I hit OK on the debugger, and it logged it successfully registered the app:


Then the host processes shut themselves down because they didn't see the Monitor (because it crashed), then main service restarted, monitor posted a successful "Metabase caused the following changes" event, and both CLR 2 host for redirector and CLR 4 host for my app posted "Successfully registered type AppPoolHost for remote control by monitoring service. Waiting for incoming commands.".

So, looks like issue is related to NETWORK SERVICE, under .NET 4, as the Redirector is working properly under NETWORK SERVICE on .NET 2:

-Redirector-


-My App-


And maybe I just reported another bug regarding the crash.

This solves it here...but I'd like to get Network Service working. Or a way to install it under Local System w/ your assurance that is production quality. i.e. "run the Local System application setup if the Network Service one fails". This application is going to be deployed to non-technical customers so it is my goal to assure as much as possible that all Win7 x64 installations will work without intervention.

Halp!

Thanks!
