2. If you are running Windows XP and you have Internet Information Services (IIS) installed,
you must now grant the accounts named ASPNET and NETWORK SERVICE (under which
ASP.NET executes, depending on whether you installed SP2) the required permissions to access
the database provided with the example files. (This and the remaining steps are not required
in Windows Server 2003, or if you do not have IIS installed.) In Windows Explorer, right-click
on the subfolder named
App_Data within the skeleton folder and select Properties. In the
App_Data Properties dialog, select the Security tab and click the Add button to open the “Select
Users or Groups” dialog, as shown in Figure 1-8. Click the Locations button, and select the
name of your machine (not the domain it is part of) and click OK; then enter the account name
ASPNET in the text box and click the Check Names button. The full account name, including
the machine name, is underlined to indicate that is was located.
