I am sure either you have not installed .NET Framework or haven't included it in your Environment Variables. Please install and then just add its path in Environment variables.

The default location for aspnet_regiis is :

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3 or v4 whatever your framework is.

This fellow had a problem with a missing aspnet_regiis file.

He solved it by repairing his .Net framework installation.

That might be worth a try?

Argh! So much plumbing to keep track of. At least it's an easy fix. – DOK Apr 04 '12 at 13:00

fyi path to file is C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis.exe (though version may be different for you) – Ruskin Oct 17 '14 at 12:28

I sure do mean "as.." – Osher Levy Feb 28 '17 at 08:28
I ran cmd as Admin in order to decrypt with aspnet_regiis – El Ronnoco Apr 14 '22 at 06:07
