Runtime Error or Configuration Error

Problem: Immediately after installing Directory Update v1.2 or later, you direct your web browser to the http://SERVER/directoryupdate URL and you receive the following message rather than the logon screen:

_______________________
Server Error in '/DirectoryUpdate' Application.

Runtime Error

Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:1.1.4322.2300; ASP.NET Version:1.1.4322.2300

The problem is that Directory Update v1.2 and later all use the Microsoft .NET Framework v2.0 on the IIS Server. If this is not installed then you cannot even install Directory Update, however you must also configure the /DirectoryUpdate virtual directory to use the v2.0.50727 version of ASP.NET. 

After installing Directory Update, open up Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager, go to the /DirectoryUpdate virtual directory that was created (probably in the Default Web Site) and display its properties.  Then choose the ASP.NET property page. Confirm that in the ASP.NET version drop-down list that v2.0.50727 is displayed.

After making this change, you might need to restart the Default Web Site or run IISRESET from the command prompt.
