Error 1609. ASPNET is not valid

Out company have a product that is being install through InstallShield. When I run the installation on a machine with IIS 6 installed it is working great. But, when I am trying to install it on a machine with IIS 7 install I get:

*Error 1609.An error occurred while applying security settings. ASPNET is not a valid user or group. This could be a problem with the package, or a problem connecting to a domain controller on the network. Check your network connection and click Retry, or Cancel to end the install. *

what am I doing wrong ? what do I need to change on the installation (or on the installed machine).

Thanks, Ben

It is becase you don't have a ASPNET user. You have 2 choices you can either manaually create this user for the purpse of running this package or you can install .net framework 1.1 and then reinstall or reregister the version of .net you intend to run your apps with.

Run the following command to fix this issue:

aspnet_regiis –i

This is usually available in the .NET Framework installation path. If you use .NET 2.0, for example, the whole path would be:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis -i

More information about the aspnet_regiis command is available here.
