SYMPTOMS
When you view a Microsoft ASP.NET Application in a Web browser, you may receive the following error messages:
For the Microsoft .NET Framework version 1.1, the error message is the following:
CS0016: Could not write to output file ‘c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\Temporary
ASP.NET Files\application1\c11b43f6\cf3ec03\rizcntet.dll’ . The directory name is invalid.
For the .NET Framework 1.0, the error message is the following:
CS0013: Unexpected error writing metadata to file
‘C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\Temporary ASP.NET Files\application2\3fc72f26\eb731247\ev2bslce.dll’.
The directory name is invalid.
CAUSE
The system TEMP and TMP variables point to a folder that does not exist.
The compiler generates temporary files in the folder where the TEMP and the TMP variables point to before the files are copied to the Temporary ASP.NET Files folder. However, the folder where the system variables point to is deleted when you restart the computer. Therefore, the compiler cannot generate the temporary files.
RESOLUTION
Note If the error message that is mentioned in the “Symptoms” section of this article persists, restart the computer.
