Script handlers in Win7

[VicM]

Folks,
Let me say first, I know nothing about Win7. Basically I'm a programmer of apps and not familiar with all that is necessary to get apps to work on this OS.

My situation is this: A client has a local web based application using IIS backed by an Access DB. All the script files have .asp extensions. In attempting to port the app from a Vista box (where it worked just fine, thank you) to the Win7 box I keep getting errors. Basically a 404.3 Error stating the page being requested cannot be served because of the extension configuration. If the page is a script, add a handler. If the file shoud be downloaded, add a MIME map.

Other suggestions were that ASP.NET wasn't installed. So I went to the Net and installed it. Took forever. And still the app wouldn't launch.

Also the Detailed Error Information was as follows:
Module StaticFileModule
Notification ExecuteRequestHandler
Handler StaticFile
Error Code 0x80070032
Requested URL

http://localhost:80/inventory/default.asp

Physical Path C:\inetput\wwwroot\inventory\default.asp
Logon Method Anonymous
Logon User Anonymous

I tried reading the KB article,

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942032.

When I type inetmgr in the search box I don't get a Program list. But I do see the Handler Mappings icon. Yet the instructions don't explain how to configure a handler, just how to add one.
I'm at a total loss here and any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Vic

which version of ASP.Net is installed on the VISTA box? and on the Windows 7 side?

sounds kinda like a version mismatchor it's not active ...

see:

this might help as well, see the post by ANILR (Anil Ruia) about half way down the page:

Ben,
Thanks for your suggestions. I tried to install ASP.NET from the features window but it just said Error occurred; components not installed. When I checked ASP.NET and the other components that got checked did not install.
I looked at Anil Ruia's suggestions, but am still not able to get this to function. I'm at a total loss here.
How does one add a handler for the .asp extensions?

I decided to install classic ASP and it installed without error. Now when I try to load my default.asp I get a 500 Internal Server Error.
So I wrote a simple "Hello World" html file with .asp extension and lo & behold it worked!
I then added the first .asp part of my default.asp file to the Hello World file. The code is as follows:
<%
filePath = Server.MapPath("Inventory.mdb")
// Create ADO Connection Component to connect
// with sample database


set oConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
oConn.Open("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" +filePath)

if request.querystring = "" or request.querystring("display") = "active" then

sqlstr = "SELECT * FROM INVENTORY WHERE Inactive = False order by DWG"
elseif request.querystring("display") = "inactive" then
sqlstr = "SELECT * FROM INVENTORY WHERE Inactive = True order by DWG"
else
sqlstr = "SELECT * FROM INVENTORY order by DWG"
end if

set rsInventory = oConn.execute(sqlstr)

%>


Now when I try loading the Hello World file I get the following error:
ADODB.Connection error'800a0e7a'
Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed.
/inventory/helloworld.asp, line 8

I thought maybe I needed to add an ODBC for the Provider. When I attempted to do so the only Providers listed were:
SQL Server and
SQL Server Native Client 10.0

So I went looking for Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 and in so doing I became confused as to whether this new box is operating at 64-bit or 32-bit. Clearly, the older web based app I'm trying to port to this box was operating under 32-bit hardware.

What do I have to do to add the Provider and ensure that the app is operating in IIS as a 32-bit app?
