    Hi, For the past half an hour i was struggling with IIS6 trying to force all incoming requests to be handled by asp.net (aspnet_isapi.dll). In IIS5, you had to open IIS manager and from website properties select "Home directory/Configuration/Mapping" add a new extension * and point to : C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspnet_isapi.dll According to help topic it should be the same for IIS6, but when i tried to put * or .* it didn't accept it , and all what i was getting is an error "Wrong extension format". After almost half an hour i finally figured out that it shoud be added in a bit different way: from website properties select "Home directory/Configuration/Mapping" and choose Insert instead of Add, under "Executable" enter path to aspnet_isapi.dll and uncheck "Verify that file exists", otherwise it wont work for folders. Unfortunately this also doesnt help. In Microsoft's support site (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326965/en-us) they say to update the existing list of MIME types. I did that also, but unfortunately this also does not solve the problem. Please help me out if you have any solution. You can reach me at vishvesh888@hotmail.com or vishveshraiter@gmail.com Thanks Vishvesh Raiter

      Which is your server version ? Under Windows Server 2003: .* is not allowed in the mapping , there is an extra ‘all extensions’ section where you can add the aspnet_isapi.dll. Check This[^] aricle

        Thanks for your quick reply. But the link which you pointed tells all about the Mapping in IIS5.1. I am using Windows 2K3 IIS6.0. Please do reply. Thanx
