ASPNET user not created during .NET framework installation

[Roberto Kohler]

For some reason when I install the .NET framework 1.1
it does not add the user ASPNET.

I'm trying to install the CSVS Portal Starter Kit.
I manage to reach the database connection test, and the test is successful,
but when I press the install button I get the following error:
Windows NT user or group 'MyServer\ASPNET' not found.
Check the name again.
Changed database context to 'master'.
Then the installer executes a rollback.
I check the list of users in the active directory and ASPNET is not there.

I'm running a Win 2000 server, IIS5.0, .NET framework 1.1 SP1
The server is also a domain controller.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm running a Win 2000 server, IIS5.0, .NET framework 1.1 SP1
The server is also a domain controller.

On a DC, ASP.NET runs under the IWAM account. There are no local accounts
on a DC.

Being a domain controller is a bit of a problem, because everyone
assumes the ASPNET account will be a local machine account.

Could you tell the Portal install to use a SQL Login instead of a
windows account?
