Problem

"aspnet_regiis -i" crashes when executed from command giving error code 0x80004005 on Windows 7 with IIS7

My solution

I have UAC switched on, and launched the command prompt -as administrator-. Start -> cmd -> right click "Run as Administrator". Then aspnet_regiis worked fine.

Did this work for you? please comment below for the benefit of others.
