App-Domain could not be created. Error: 0x80131902

Failed to execute request because the App-Domain could not be created. Error: 0x80131902
Event-ID: 1088
Source: ASP.NET 2.0.50727.0

I was getting this error in Event Viewer while trying to run a web app. This was fresh install of IIS, but on an older server. The problem is that after IIS is installed you need to re-install the .Net framework.

Step one is to un-install the .Net framework.
  • Open a Command Prompt
  • run "net stop w3svc"
  • cd %windir%\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v2.0.50727\
  • run "aspnet_regiis.exe -ua"
  • run "aspnet_regiis.exe -i "
  • run "net start w3svc"

aspnet_regiis.exe -r may have worked instead of the two step uninstall / reinstall based on it's discription but I didn't try that option.

Brilliant. I've just installed IIS5.1 on my WinXP dev box and was having this problem. Thanks for posting the solution :-)

Thanks a million! Your post provided me a working solution. I was in deep trouble with coexisting .NET Framework v2.0 and v4.0 and I couldn't get either of them working. After implementing your solution I could run just the version I wanted and switch them according to my needs.
