Hi Patrick,
 
>From the error message "aspnet_wp.exe could not be launched because the
username and/or password supplied in the processModel section of the config
file are invalid.", I believe this error is related with the account
settings.
 
Actually, when we set "machine" as the user in processModel, ASP.NET work
process is running with the account "ASPNET". Please perform the following
steps to make the asp.net web application works:
 
1. I would like to double confirm the settings in machine.config. Please
make sure the user name and password is:
 
userName="machine" password="AutoGenerate"
 
Note: Please do not overwrite "AutoGenerate" with another password.
 
2. Delete the "ASPNET" account.
 
This is a local account, not a domain account.
 
3. In the command window, locate the following directory:
 
 C:\<Windows Directory>\Microsoft.Net\Framework\VersionNote:
 
You must replace <Windows Directory> in this path with the correct
directory for your system and replace <Version> with the version of the
NET Frame work installed on your system.
 
4. Type "aspnet_regiis -i" (without the quotation marks) to configure the
required application mappings correctly.

This will reinstall ASP.NET on the machine.
 
Now, please try to run the ASP.NET web application again. If there are any
new findings, please don't hesitate to let me know.
 
Regards,

Steven Cheng
