title: CruiseControl.net failing with HTTP Error 500 on Vista x64
body: <p>I installed CruiseControl.net ( from the CruiseControl.NET-1.4-Setup.exe installer ) on my Vista x64 development machine.  The server portion is running fine; however, the webdashboard piece is not working.</p>
  
  <p>The first error message I saw when I tried to pull up <a href="http://localhost/ccnet" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://localhost/ccnet</a> squawked about not being able to run in integrated pipeline mode.  Easily fixed.  I opened up the IIS7 admin panel and changed the ccnet application to use the "Classic .NET App Pool" application pool.  </p>
  
  <p>However, I am now getting a persistent HTTP Error 500 when I try to connect.  I set the NTFS permissions on the webdashboard folder wide open in the hopes that maybe it was a file permissions issue.  No joy.</p>
  
  <p>After a bit of digging and trial and error I found a set of steps which seems to fix the problem.  I'll post a follow up answer right after this, but wanted to share this out on stackoverflow in the hopes that it might aid someone else down the line.  Also, if there's a better configuration solution I'm all ears :)</p>
