  Run old isapi .dll page under v6 Reply Contact  Long time ago (1999-2000) we created an extension to interface with a database, this dll was accessed directly with urls like this one: http://localhost/site/calc.dll?Calc?params=x they moved the application to a Windows 2003 / IIS v6.0 lately the virtual diretory has execute permissions set to "scripts and executables" but when we access the url in IE it returns a 404 error (firefox just returns to current page silently)  What am I missing? do we need to define an execution path for the ".dll" extension, register the dll somewhere, or update the dll for this iis version or something? any ideas?

I tryed adding it here and setting the status to allowed, but it is still behaving the same

  Re: Run old isapi .dll page under v6 Reply Contact I do not have an IIS6 machine in front of me right now - so cannot tell you the exact location of the feature, but that sounds like the right one.  Make sure that the path of the ISAPI-extension you type in the web service extension exactly matches the physical (not the url) path of the ISAPI you are executing (including drive letter etc).
