Title: Resolving Unable to attach to ASP.NET worker process (typically aspnet_wp.exe or w3wp.exe)
Question: Some people have a problem when they try to run their first "HELLO WORD" ASP.net aplication. They receive the message Unable to attach to ASP.NET worker process (typically aspnet_wp.exe or w3wp.exe)
Answer:
There are a lot of comments about this problem in Internet, but I didn't found a real solution to my own. I think that it is a user security and registry ASP.net problem, not related directly to Delphi 8, really is an ASP.net problem and the solution is to run the next file comand.
Copy this secuence of commands in a file. For example "fixup.cmd" and execute it.
REM This is the begin of the file
REM "Changing to the Framework install directory"
cd /d %SystemRoot%\microsoft.net\framework\v1.1.4322
