VS2010 Publish (Web Deployment) fails with "Some or all identity references could not be translated"
- by jonhilt
Deploying ASP.NET 3.5 Web Service to local IIS (on Windows 7) I get this error message...
The account 'ASPNET' does not appear to be valid. The account was obtained from this location: 'AspNetWorkerProcessIdentityName'.
Some or all identity references could not be translated.
Publish failed to deploy.
I've tried making the site use a specific Application Pool, and the Network Service user (which also has full rights to the deployment folder) but to no avail.
