In IIS Manager, right-click on the web site (probably Default Web Site), go
to the Home Directory tab and click on the button to the right of the
Application name box. Make sure the "Execute permissions" is set to "Scripts
only".

Or it's something pretty much like that.

Hey thanx for the reply,, the button next to the application name box
is remove,, I removed the application name and it just didnt work at
all. I also tried creating a new name and I got the same error again

actually now I fixed it.

Glad to hear it.

For the benefit of anyone who may happen across this thread in the future,
what was the step that made it work?
