Error while installing web tools.

[Former Member]

I am currently trying to install E-Commerce and Web CRM on a Windows Vista desktop PC, that we are going to use as a Demo PC for potential customers. It is just a demo, so everything is being installed locally on the Demo PC. I run into an error while installing the Web Tools

After the Default Install and before I precede to the Advanced install, I browse to - localhost/B1webtools - and rather than load up the webtools license key request page, I am getting the following error.

HTTP Error 404.17 - Not Found

The requested content appears to be script and will not be served by the static file handler.

I didn't run into any errors during the default install, and it appeared to function just right.

Does anyone know what would cause this error???

Server Error in Application "DEFAULT WEB SITE/B1WEBTOOLS"

Internet Information Services 7.0

Error Summary

HTTP Error 404.17 - Not Found

The requested content appears to be script and will not be served by the static file handler.

Detailed Error Information

Module StaticFileModule

Notification ExecuteRequestHandler

Handler StaticFile

Error Code 0x80070032

Requested URL http://localhost/b1webtools/default.aspx

Physical Path C:InetPubwwwrootB1WebToolsdefault.aspx

Logon Method Anonymous

Most likely causes:

u2022 The request matched a wildcard mime map. The request is mapped to the static file handler. If there were different pre-conditions, the request will map to a different handler.

Things you can try:

u2022 If you want to serve this content as a static file, add an explicit MIME map.

Links and More Information

Sometimes preconditions and a wildcard MIME map can unintentionally cause serving script source.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Hi Brett

A quick google search yielded this:

I think it might have something to do with IIS 6 Metabase compatibility, but usually those popup in the installer

Yeah, I did have that pop up in the installer, but was able to add the 6.0 compatibility stuff through add/remove windows components in add/remove programs.

Okay so I changed my Application pool and it solved that error. Now I'm able to get the page that has a link to the request license page, but when I click on that link it gives me this error:

I have repeatedly gotten this error on all Windows Vista machines that I try and install webtools on. Does anyone have a good idea on this one?

So the error was caused because I hadn't registered ASP.NET with IIS. But now I am getting a new error when I go to localhost/B1webtools which is stopping me from being able to request a license.

The error says the following.

Most likely causes:

u2022This application defines configuration in the system.web/httpHandlers section.

Things you can try:

u2022Migrate the configuration to the system.webServer/handlers section. You can do so manually or by using AppCmd from the command line - for example, %SystemRoot%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd migrate config "Default Web Site/". Using appcmd to migrate your application will enable it to work in Integrated mode, and continue to work in Classic mode and on previous versions of IIS.

u2022If you are certain that it is OK to ignore this error, it can be disabled by setting system.webServer/validation@validateIntegratedModeConfiguration to false.

u2022Alternatively, switch the application to a Classic mode application pool - for example, appcmd set app "Default Web Site/" /applicationPool:"Classic .NET AppPool". Only do this if you are unable to migrate your application.

(Set "Default Web Site" and "Classic .NET AppPool" to your application path and application pool name)
