After installing Vault 4.0.1 the first time on a W2K Advanced Server, it is not possible to reach admin's page. .NET gives the following error (yes, i've already reinstalled .NET):

Server Error in '/VaultService' Application.

That's really odd. Our web services are pre-compiled, so the .Net Framework shouldn't be trying to do anything like that. Is there an App_GlobalResources folder on your disk under VaultService? If there is, can you delete it?

There is no such folder on this host. But there is also .NET framework 1.1 installed - normally that shouldn't matter?

The internet seems to point to this being caused by having inadequate rights to the C:\WINNT\system32\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys directory. Make sure to give your ASPNET user full rights to that directory and all files in it.

If that doesn't work, repeat setup for C:\Documents and Settings\All Users.WINNT\Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys
