Adding Application Mapings to an IIS6 webiste on Windows XP

Question

Hi

I am trying to add an Application Extension Mapping to a website in IIS6 running on windows XP. My steps are as follows:

Home directory > Configuration > Mappings > Add

Executable: aspnet_isapi.dll
Extension: .xml
Verbs: All Verbs

but the OK button is always greyed out.

Is this a limitation of IIS6 on XP?

Answer 1

you need to set it to:

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_isapi.dll

(or, copy the path from .aspx - you can't use ctrl commands, right click the text box instead)

Additionally, you should deselect 'Check that file exists'
