IIS6.0 No touch deployment

[D Witherspoon]

Since moving our web server from Win 2000 IIS 5, to Win 2003 IIS 6 we have
had the following issues:

Our no touch deployment applications do not dowload the referenced dll's
that are in the bin folder. Permissions for this foler are set up
correctly.

Has anyone seen this behaviour and can help me out with this?

Thanks

Do you have the mime type of dll files as application/x-msdownload?

 

[D Witherspoon]

There are no MIME types set on any of the dll's for IIS 5.0 (W2k) and IIS
6.0 (W2K3).

The dlls work and are downloaded from IIS 5 with no mime type set for dlls
in the bin folder. (ex: http://mysiteWin2000/myEXE/bin)

The dlls work and are downloaded from IIS 6 with no mime type set for dlls
in the .EXE web folder. (ex: http://mysiteWin2003/myEXE/)

The dlls do not work and are not downloaded from IIS 6 with no mime type
set for dlls in the bin folder. (ex: http://mysiteWin2003/myEXE/bin)

So I question how setting the mime type would make a difference in this
case. In all the MSDN documentation I have read they have made no mention
of setting the mime type.
