    After installing SP6 IIS no longer will serve ASP pages.

    When trying to browse an ASP application the following message is recorded in
    the event log:

    The server failed to load application '/LM/W3SVC/1/ROOT/RMAdmin'. The error was
    'General access denied error
    '
    When truing to browse the default page the following message is recorded in the
    event log:

    The server failed to load application '/LM/W3SVC/1/ROOT'. The error was
    'General access denied error
    '.

    I restored the system disk to it's pre-sp6 state and IIS works properly.

    Steps to reproduce.

    With VB6 SP5 installed and IIS with the default web page:

    1. Using IE enter http://localhost in the location bar and press enter.
    2. Two IE windows will be built:
        http://localhost/localstart.asp
        http://localhost/iishelp/iis/misc/default.asp
    3. Install SP6
    4. Using IE enter http://localhost in the location bar and press enter.
    5. IE indicates the following error:
        HTTP 500 - Internal server error
    6. The event log has an entry with the following text:
        The server failed to load application '/LM/W3SVC/1/ROOT'. The error was
    'General access denied error
    '.

    Systems tested on Windows 2000 Professional, Windows 2000 Server, XP Pro.
