    Hi all,

    I've just uploaded my site, it's got an assembly that creates an xml file at:

    .\classes.xml

    When I access the page that invokes the method I get the error:

    Access to the path 'C:\Windows\SysWOW64\inetsrv\classes.xml' is denied.

    Has anyone got any advise?

    Is this an app.config type thing (I assume that the web.config governs the aspx pages bit and the app.config governs the assembly)?

    Your application's trying to write directly to the IIS directory which wouldn't be permitted.

    Make sure that you're specifying the server path that's available on the Account Information page in your DiscountASP.NET Control Panel.
