IIS 6.0 Installation/Setup failure with the error 0x80090010 (Access denied)

  • Article
Symptoms

During the installation of IIS 6.0 on Windows Server 2003, the setup may throw a message box indicating the following:

Error writing encrypted data to the Web Server's configuration database (Metabase).

0x80090010=Access denied.

Below is the screenshot of the exact error.

Cause

This issue occurs as the Sysocmgr.exe (The EXE for installing Windows components including IIS 6.0) tries to write the encrypted data to the Metabase.xml file. During this process, it looks for the machine key inside the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys folder. If it cannot find the key then it will try to create the key. During this Key creation process it calls CryptGenKey() method of advapi.dll. This in turn calls the rsaenh.dll (Microsoft’s cryptography service provider (CSP)) for the key creation. In this failing scenario, some 3rd party software had incorrectly registered a different dll (rsabase.dll) as our CSPbinary. Rsabase.dllwas used in Windows operating systems prior to Windows Server 2003. In Windows Server 2003 and onwards all Microsoft CSPs were merged into rsaenh.dll.

Resolution

1) Unregister rsabase.dll - regsvr32 /u %windir%\system32\rsabase.dll

2) Register rsaenh.dll - regsvr32 %windir%\system32\rsaenh.dll

3) Reinstall IIS

More Information

NOTE: If you select to write all the data unencrypted as per the error message box in the above screenshot (“Write UnEncrypted/All” ) then setup may complete but the World Wide Web (WWW) service will not start. So it is not recommended to choose that option.

In IIS6.log file, you will see following entries being logged when you get this error,
