I came across this error today after restarting one of my production web servers. The issue only appeared when ASP.NET was initializing on the first request from a web browser. If you requested the website a second time, the application would finally kick-in and start. However, if you restarted the W3SVC service (effectively reloading IIS and ASP.NET), and request the site again, you'll get the error. I looked in C:\WINDOWS\assembly, and Microsoft.Jscript was in the GAC. I figured this might be a permission issue with the IIS worker process identity that ASP.NET uses but it has been working now for some time. We currently host our web-app over a network share, and have a separate identity access the network share. This is the error that we are getting. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
