  Hi there, I have the same problem as you did -
  
  I was following the single machine deployment
  
  I installed W2k3 Server enterprise, then setup AD, then SQL 2k5, then sharepoint (stsv2 with sp1 bundled) but when I accessed the sharepoint homepage I got the same security exception.
  
  I looked into this and found that SQL2k5 had configured the default website to ASP.NET v2 which broke sharepoint. VSTS didn't work of cause... and changing the ASP.NET config to v1.1 didn't work either because I assume some of the configuration would have been damaged.
  
  I figured I would check that sharepoint installed ok first, so I nuked my box and tried the same install but sharepoint before SQL2k5. Sharepoint now works because it's using .NET framework v1.1 and the rest of the install completed ok - but when I go to add a site in team system I get the following exception:

  Now if I change the ASP.NET config for the default website to use v2 - sharepoint home site is broken (same as before, something to do with the webparts and v2 framework) but the Microsoft.Pcw.wss plugin initialization works and it completes this step and the site creation process starts - only problem is it breaks further on in the process:

  Any suggestions - I can include the full logs. If I have to do another clean install some advice upfront would really help!

  Can you verify that your Windows SharePoint top-level site (http://srv-it-devnet) and SharePoint Central Administration (accessible from Control Panel) sites are accessible

  I install the AD before IIS and checked that both reporting services and SharePoint Services are running and accessable. however, when I tried to create an new project, I got this error. see the attached log.

  At what point did you install IIS, before or after Active Directory If before, you'd be better off starting afresh. See this blog post:
