I have been trying to complete an install of any version of this software for days now. I am using XP Home Edition. I have managed to find a way to install IIS but I still have errors in the installation. When running the "configure", I get "internal server error" when it comes to configuring the IIS portion of the utility. When I try and runn the website after building the solution in VS 2005, I get the following error:
Failed to access IIS metabase
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. Exception Details: System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironmentException: Failed to access IIS metabase. The process account used to run ASP.NET must have read access to the IIS metabase (e.g. IIS://servername/W3SVC). For information on modifying metabase permissions, please see http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=267904.
I have searched the web and these forums for the solutions. I have granted access to the asp.net process user and every other tip and trick I can find with no success. Any help would be appreciated.
We don't support running SplendidCRM on Windows XP Home. That is not to say that it is not posssible, only that we don't have the resources to support. If you are able to get IIS installed, then you are half way there. Instead of relying upon our configuration wizard, just do everything yourself.
Think of SplendidCRM as a simple ASP.NET application and follow the same steps you would follow to get any ASP.NET application running on Windows XP Home. Just don't try to use the SplendidCRM Configuration Wizard to do any of it.
