Thanks for the response.
Regarding ANTS being cheaper -- that is true if you don't already have VS 2005, in which case ANTS is an extra cost. That's the situation I'm in as my company has thousands of VS 2005 licenses and is now considering ANTS as an uncessary purchase. / comments

I think it's almost essential if Red Gate wants to sell the software, at least to large companies that have IT cost control measures in place.
I'm asking for this info because my company is balking at buying any more ANTS licenses until I provide some sort of product comparison between ANTS and the VS performance tools. / comments

ANTS Profiler 3 vs. Visual Studio 2005
Could someone from Red-Gate please provide something that compares ANTS Profiler to the built-in performance tools in Visual Studio 2005? Are they intended to be complimentary tools or at they esse...
OK, I'm making a little progress. I had several different types of users attempt to run ANTS and, finally, one of the top-level server administrators here was able to run it. We believe something in a user's group policy is defining a restriction that is preventing ANTS from profiling a web app. Now the question is exactly which restrictions are the problematic ones....
It may not be possible/feasible for my company to start granting the least restrictive group policy settings to anyone who will run ANTS Profiler. I may have to identify the specific restrictions that must be lifted. If that's the case, I may have some further questions. I have a feeling our security guys will want to know the minimum settings required to run Profiler.
From this experience I have a couple suggestions for Red Gate:
1) the error message I am getting is not very indicative of my issue. A "time out" waiting for the port seems to suggest something else is using that port. A better error message would be a real time saver.
2) Corporate environments often have rather complex security implementations where asking for "admin" access to a box is not a simple matter. More detailed security requirements for running Profiler would be very useful. / comments

Registry access does not appear to be the issue. I've tried logging in under a different user account that definitely have registry access and am getting the same error.
Also, the reg key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\IISAdmin\ImagePath does exist.
You mention that "ANTS Profiler needs to be run as an administrator." Do you know what exact permissions are required? We profile our apps in a stress environment that is designed to mimic our production environment, including many of its security policies. I can request to be granted certain permissions and policies, but I need to know which ones. I don't think it is possible to be granted any sort of "God" access to the server; I need to be more specific than that.
In the meantime, I'm having some of the server admin guys attempt to start some ANTS Profiler sessions. If they can do it with their accounts, then I can be confident there is a security issue with my own User ID. If they can't, then perhaps the problem is not security related. / comments

1314: Couldn't log on as the ASPNET user [1314]
Hi, I'm getting the following error when attempting to start profiling a web app. There seem to be plenty of posts here for this same error message but with different error numbers. I've tried foll...
I get the same error when attemtpting to run memory analysis. The analysis does seem, however, to run okay. But it's not clear whether the "unable to limit its memory use" means ASP.NET is performing properly. Anyone from Red Gate have some info on this?
Unable to get the private bytes memory limit for the W3WP process. The ASP.NET cache will be unable to limit its memory use, which may lead to a process restart. Error: 0x80070003
I'm running Server 2003 with IIS 6. ANTS 2.6.I should also note that I don't _always_ get this error. It seems to happen only sporadically when running the profiler, and I don't see anything obvious that causes the error to occur/not occur. / comments

OK, no sooner than I post a reply saying "it's working now" than the same error is occurring again. Now when I try to profile performance or memory Ants appears like it is working, a browser window opens to my webservice page but it can't load because IIS looks like it's not started (or, judging by the error message, perhaps it starts then immediately shuts down). Error message follows:
The worker process failed to initialize the http.sys communication or the w3svc communication layer and therefore could not be started. The data field contains the error number.
