I install vault server and the installation works fine. Then when it loads a page in the web browser i get the error:

The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

A name was started with an invalid character. Error processing resource 'http://dserve/VaultService/VaultWeb/Login.aspx?Ret...

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" MasterPageFile="~/VaultWeb/VaultWebMaster.Master" CodeBehind="Login.aspx.c...

Has anybody ran into this? Anyone know a fix? I appreciate your help. Thanks.

It sounds like an IIS error.

Could you open a browser on the Vault server and try the pages:
http://localhost/vaultservice
and
http://localhost/vaultservice/vaultservice.asmx and let me know the results?

Ya the first link does work however the second one does not. I can't get into the admin client. What do you think the problem with IIS might be?

Usually this is a case of where the web service extensions doesn't have the 2.0 .NET framework set to allow. On this post link, the first screenshot shows you what I'm talking about.

Server Error in '/VaultService' Application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

So now we have the problem narrowed down a bit. I'm right now doing some research to enable this. I followed the link and tried to do the command it gave but it did not work. Oh yeah and I'm on IIS 5.1. Thanks for everything.

Yay fixed it. Thanks alot for your help Beth. You put me on the path to find the answer.

This has to do with installing IIS after installing the framework.

Ran a simple command in the C:\Windows\Microsoft.net\framework\V2.0.50727 directory.

aspnet_regiis -i

This reinstalls asp.net 2.0.........

Hope this will help anyone else that encounters the same problem.
