Failed to access IIS metabase

Have just installed vault 4.02 (to play around with). After install on a WXP I got the message below. Granting the users ASPNET and IWAM_MMA4 rights as explained on http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=267904 does not help. The dot.net version og "Default Web Site", "VaultService" and "VaultShadowFolder".

what could I be missing?

Server Error in '/VaultService' Application.
