Figure 1-9: Selecting the Write option
If you cannot see a Security tab in the App_Data Properties dialog, you have Simple File Sharing
enabled. Select Folder Options from the Tools menu, and select the View tab. At the bottom of the list,
uncheck the option named Use Simple File Sharing. This option does not appear in Windows Server
2003 because this operating system does not support simple file sharing.
However, the Use Simple File Sharing option does not appear in Windows XP Home Edition either,
because this operating system uses only simple file sharing. In this case, you must restart your machine
and hold down the F8 key as it starts, and then select Safe Mode. Log in as Administrator after Windows
starts up in safe mode, and navigate to the
C:\WebSites\PPQ folder in Windows Explorer. When you
right-click on the
App_Data folder and select Properties, you will see that the Security tab has now
appeared.
4. Now, repeat the process from step 2 to give Write permission to the NETWORK SERVICE
account for the
App_Data folder within the skeleton folder of the examples.
If you have not yet installed Service Pack 2 for Windows XP, you will not have an account named
NETWORK SERVICE, and so you can skip step 3.
5. Repeat the process again from step 2 to give Write permission to the ASPNET and NETWORK
SERVICE accounts for the
App_Data folder within the completed folder of the examples.
The application, including the database, is now installed and ready to use.
