Re: Invalid Application Name Error from ASP in subdirectory

I spent my spare time for about 10 days on a problem like this. After
I tried to load the service pack for IIS3, it wouldn't install, and told me
that
IIS3 was not installed properly.

IIS seemed to be running fine but that service pack was the only thing
that indicated there was a problem and it made reference to the
program not being installed properly to begin with. Since I didn't
install it, I wasn't sure. I had to start from scratch and reinstall.

After I got IIS straightened out, I had no more problems with .asp files.

Did you give execute permissons in IIS 3 for the subdirectory? You know
that this is different between IIS 3.0 and 4.0
