I was getting this on an asp.net 2.0 iis7 Windows2008 site. Same code on iis6 worked fine. It was causing an issue for me because it was messing up the login process. User would login and get a 302 to default.asxp, which would get through page_load, but not as far as pre-render before iis7 would send a 302 back to login.aspx without the auth cookie. I started playing with app pool settings, and for some reason 'enable 32 bit applications' seems to have fixed it. No idea why, since this site isn't doing anything special that should require any 32 bit drivers. We have some sites that still use Access that require 32bit, but not our straight SQL sites like this one.
