SYMPTOMS
========
When using the Package and Deployment Wizard (PDW) to deploy an Internet
Information Server (IIS) application to a Web server, you receive the following
error message:
Unexpected error number C0042116 has occurred: The Web server returned the
following error: Access Denied.
NOTE: This error message should only occur if you are using Anonymous access.
CAUSE
=====
The Anonymous account (IUSR_<machinename> by default) does not have proper
NT File System (NTFS) permissions to the C:\InetPub\scripts directory and/or to
the directory to which you are deploying. The Anonymous account needs at least
NTFS Read and Execute (RX) permissions to the C:\InetPub\scripts directory and
NTFS Change (RWXD) permissions to the deployment directory.
RESOLUTION
==========
Assign the Anonymous account Read and Execute permissions to the
C:\InetPub\scripts directory and assign Change permissions to your deployment
directory.
STATUS
======
This behavior is by design.
