.NET Passport SDK & IIS Issues

I installed the .NET Passport 2.5 SDK, to enable SSI on one of the portals I am developing. One good thing about version 2.5 of the SDK is that it has support for managed development in C#. I wanted to host this portal on my ASPXConnection webspace. Unfortunately ASPXConnection doesnt give access to some resources which may be required in special cases such as this. To install the Symmetric Key given by the Passport Services Manager, I needed command line accees to install the key.   :-(

I had installed the .NET Passport 2.5 SDK on my system and uninstalled the same after realizing that I would not be able to do this with my webspace. The next time hit F5 in VS.NET 2003 to run my web application, it said:

“Unable to start debugging on webserver”

I run the web application without debugging and it was ok. Conclusion was that my Web.config was ok. I didnt want to research for a very long time on this issue, so went ahead with the good old “KB306160”. I reinstalled the .NET Framework and everything was back to normal.

Update: Article 306172 seems to be a better place to start off, if you have ASP.NET & IIS issues
