.NET2.0

For one of our requirement, we had to modify the

ie.browser (present at %windir%\microsoft.Net\Framework64\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\Browsers) and web.config files (present at %windir%\microsoft.Net\Framework64\v2.0.50727\CONFIG).

After modifying these files, when I execute aspnet_regbrowsers.exe, we are getting access denied error. Following is the error message:

ASPRUNTIME: Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005(E_ACCESSDENIED))

I have executed aspnet_regbrowsers.exe (available at %windir%\microsoft.Net\Framework64\v2.0.50727) from command prompt under administrative privileges as shown below:

aspnet_regbrowsers.exe -i

The server OS is windows 2008 R2 x64 and has IIS7.

Thanks,
Kiran

Did you try to modify this file by your ASP.NET application? You cannot do it, for a good reason. Why doing so?

Anyway, HTTP server runs Web applications is a sandboxed environment which does not provide access to any objects of server-side host's file system beyond the root directory of your site. It has nothing to do with system permissions.
