Runtime Error or Configuration Error

later, you direct your web browser to the
http://SERVER/directoryupdate URL and you receive the following message

Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom
error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error
from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed
by browsers running on the local server machine.

If you use the web browser on the server's console on which Directory Update is
installed, you will see the following error:
Server Error in '/DirectoryUpdate' Application.

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:1.1.4322.2300; ASP.NET
Version:1.1.4322.2300
The problem is that Directory Update v1.2 and later all use the
Microsoft .NET Framework v2.0 on the IIS Server. If this is not installed
then you cannot even install Directory Update, however you must also configure
the /DirectoryUpdate virtual directory to use the v2.0.50727 version of ASP.NET.
After installing Directory Update, open up Internet Information Services (IIS)
Manager, go to the /DirectoryUpdate virtual directory that was created (probably
in the Default Web Site) and display its properties. Then choose the
ASP.NET property page. Confirm that in the ASP.NET version drop-down list that
v2.0.50727 is displayed.

After making this change, you might need to restart the Default Web Site or run
IISRESET from the command prompt.
