Global Assembly Cache Security

Today i recieved an IM from my friend. When he publishs his project to an IIS v5, it fails with these errors:
1. aspnet_wp.exe (PID: 1440) stopped unexpectedly.
2. Failed to execute the request because the ASP.NET process identity does not have read permissions to the global assembly cache. Error: 0x80070005 Access is denied.






And his browser displays an message:

Server Application Unavailable

The web application you are attempting to access on this web server is currently unavailable. Please hit the "Refresh" button in your web browser to retry your request.

Administrator Note: An error message detailing the cause of this specific request failure can be found in the application event log of the web server. Please review this log entry to discover what caused this error to occur.


A: Open IIS, right click on the project folder (virtual directory), select All Tasks, choose Permissions Wizard and say Yes to all next dialogs :D. With my friend, it works fine! :)
