IIS 5 on XP Pro : Won't allow mapping of Active Application 1

[Barry1]

Running XP Pro (IIS v5) as a web test unit before putting site to the Win2K server.
Wish to map an extension to an Active application, but the OK box is always greyed out.
Mapping works fine on Win2K server (IIS v5).

Logging on to both machines as the same AD domain user with full admin rights.

Any ideas? I can't find any reference on MS web sites on in the XP / IIS help files as to why the OK box should be greyed out.

I am somewhat confussed.

Any advise would be most welcomed.

Thanks,
Barry Smith

barry1,

Nice find. My only thought was that it could not find the .dll for the application. Apparently there can be more to it than just a missing .dll.

Thanks.
