Somehow my MetaBase.bin is corrupted on my Windows XP machine. I've attempted to uninstall and reinstall IIS numerous times. I did see the Reinstalling IIS on WinXP machine post here which I made sure to follow exactly however after uninstalling IIS the Inetserv folder does not get completely removed it is left with.

MetaBase.bin aqadmin.dll aqueue.dll seos.dll

Anytime I delete those files they immediately reappear.

When I attempt to reinstall IIS I am presented with:

iis6.log

Looks like the problem occurred when trying to write the Cryptographic information in the Metabase i.e. iis_core:WriteSDtoMetaBase:Start. I suggest you uninstall IIS. Rename the MachineKeys i.e. machinekeys those are starting with c23 and 7a4. Then try reinstalling IIS.

Hope this helps.

  • This doesn't seem to be doing anything (I saw similar instructions to this else where tried renaming the entire Crypto folder in all users) it recreated folders but never created anything in the machine keys folder. I tried it again but this time uninstalling IIS and deleting only the machine keys folder and then rebooting and reinstalling again. – Chris Marisic Mar 11 '10 at 13:40
  • install logs are exactly the same except for date stamps, at this point I don't even have a machine keys folder. Is there some proper way to fix the machine keys first? – Chris Marisic Mar 11 '10 at 13:55
  • The MachineKeys folder is in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys. You don't have to rename the Crypto folder. Just rename the files as mentioned earlier and that should be good. – Vivek Kumbhar Mar 11 '10 at 14:57

System restore actually worked to resolve this... surprisingly.
