PRB: Unexpected Error C0042116 With PDW: Cannot Move Filename to Its Final Destination; Processing Has Stopped

• Microsoft Visual Basic Learning, Professional, and Enterprise Editions for Windows, version 6.0

SYMPTOMS

When using the Package and Deployment Wizard (PDW) to deploy an Internet Information Server (IIS) application to a Web server, you receive the following error message:

Unexpected error number C0042116 has occurred: The Web server returned the following error: Cannot move filename "<filename>" to its final destination. Further processing has stopped.

CAUSE

The authenticated user does not have proper Windows NT File System (NTFS) permissions to the C:\InetPub\scripts directory or to the directory you are deploying to. The authenticated user needs at least NTFS Read and Execute (RX) permissions to the C:\InetPub\scripts directory and NTFS Change (RWXD) permissions to the deployment directory.

RESOLUTION

Assign the authenticated user Read and Execute permissions to the C:\InetPub\scripts directory and assign Change permissions to your deployment directory.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
