This happened to us also on a clean install on a new server. I think it's pretty crummy that a) MS isn't more vocal about it b) they don't update the KB with the correct additional error message "file not found" c) they don't let you download the hotfix right on the page.

This is a huge infrastructure problem with ASP.Net 2.0, not some minor glitch. You would think it would have better visibility and at least its own KB article.

AdamB - We have published a KB article and I have blogged about this fix specifically. I am not aware of a "file not found" error in relation to this issue however if you could email me offline that information I can have someone investigate and if needed properly call out this error too.

Today MSFT does not typically allow for downloading of hotfixes directly however there are talks about changing this policy. The problem here is we need to have some way to track the download of these fixes. Should a regression be found in one of these packages we need to be able to notify those affected of the regression and offer relief. Fixes on Windows Update and the like go through much more rigorous testing. To allow us to deliver hotfixes such as this in a timely manner we increase the risk a bit and ship these fixes sooner rather than later to help those that may really need a fix ASAP.
