Hi,

I've deployed my application to IIS, and it is running under the ApplicationPoolIdentity user. When I browse to the site, I get an HTTP 500 error with the following in the log:

It is working fine if I open Command Prompt, run "dotnet <mydll.dll>" and browse to http://localhost:5000. I assume it's either that the ApplicationPoolIdentity user does not have access to the machine-level PATH variable, or that user does not have access to execute programs.

Any ideas?
